Activity description

Experience the breathtaking natural phenomenon that is the Northern Lights on this relaxing 3-hour cruise departing from Tromsø! This family-friendly activity can accommodate large groups and is also sustainable as 75% of the tour is done with an electric engine. 

Tromsø is a city and municipality in Northern Norway, known for its unique Arctic location, stunning natural beauty, and vibrant cultural scene and it is one of the best places in the world to view the vibrant colours of the Aurora Borealis (also known as the Northern Lights). One of the best ways to take in Norway's incredible winter colours is on a fjord boat cruise!

Your adventure begins after meeting your guides at the departure point. Once you and your group (a maximum capacity of 60 people) have boarded the vessel, your experienced Captain will set a course towards the areas of Kvaløyvågen, Ramfjorden, or Kvaløya Island, the best places to view the Northern Lights! 

Guests are welcome on deck but can also enjoy the cruise from the comfort of a heated lounge. In addition, there is a fully licensed bar onboard that offers a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and snacks. Sit, back, relax, and savour the stunning panorama of the Arctic winter sky.

Throughout the tour, your guides will share stories about the myths and legends surrounding the Northern Lights as well as the science that explains it. They can also assist with nighttime photography techniques and tricks. On the way back to Tromsø, you'll be treated to an incredible view of the city skyline and its renowned Arctic Cathedral visible from the water. 

Discover the magic of the Northern Lights on this unforgettable cruise from Tromsø. Book your next adventure in Norway today!

Lovely boat with friendly and attentive staff and an entertaining commentary - no northern lights but still worth doing. The peace on an electric boat is amazing.
