A friend of mine is planning a cruise around the Norway Russian border and
has asked when would be the best time to go in order to have the best chance
of seeing the Northern Lights. Bearing in mind that the cruise would have to
be booked some months in advance. Does anyone have any idea of a website
that would show this type of information. ?

In about five years as it's the sunspot minimum. You should really go
quite some way north, e.g. Tromso, and in winter.

There's a very enjoyable run up (or down) the Norwegian coast run by
these folks, http://www.hurtigruten.co.uk/ with whom I spent a merry
Christmas 2005.
