Additional Information

Embark on a thrilling journey into the absolute darkness of the Arctic fjords and Polar nights. We leave Tromsø and navigate towards the location anticipated to have the most favourable weather conditions for the night. This could be in the regions of Kvaløyvågen or Ramfjorden or along the southern edge of Kvaløya. Our crew will collaborate and constantly search for clear skies or a break in the clouds. While we anticipate the emergence of the northern lights, you can stay cozy and snug in our heated lounges.

Over the course of the evening, our guides will educate you about the Northern Lights and share their personal experiences and stories. From global myths to the scientific understanding of the Northern Lights. When fortune favours us and we spot the Northern Lights, we can wear our warm garments and step outside to marvel at the magnificent Aurora in the night sky. Certain nights, she illuminates the sky and performs with varied hues, whereas on some nights, she’s timid and either faintly noticeable or not noticeable at all.

Good activity - Nice cruise. Very modern and well maintained. The staff were informative and polite. Too bad it was an extremely clouded night and we couldn't see the lights. It even snowed few hours later

Best trip of the week! - 7 reviews i am shocked. This was the best adventure the entire week chasing the Auroras. The crew Fred & Lucas were very knowledgeable about the area, history and the auroras and th Polar Circle. The boat is panoramic and many decks to enjoy the fjord and they knew where ti find the aurora. Easy ride, pleasant and even served a warm soup. Id take this every night to chase the lights. If i would change anything is little longer ride during the aurora..it was high chances for several more hours and please serve some bread with soup! Yum. Thanks for a great experience!

It was fun and we saw the Northern Lights. - Great boat, very friendly welcome. Everything was explained very well. Lots of space on the boat to take photos! When we found and saw the Northern Lights, the boat stopped. That way everyone could take pictures in peace. The crew was great!

Beautiful Cruise - Beautiful scenery, comfortable boat, friendly staff. The ride is around the Tromso Island, I think it is the same each time. There is also a dinner cruise at the same time, the people who bought the dinner cruise sit at tables, and the cruisers-only sit at bar tables lining the windows. The talk was very informative, and I learned a lot about Tromso.

Try this on the first or second night. - I would recommend this activity for those on their first or second day. The crew is very nice and does their best to find the northern lights. In addition the cruise allows you to see the night line. The only negative is that the cruise is so slow that you might be bored you if have been on a northern light hunt or have see the landscapes at night.

Family cruise - While we were not lucky to see the northern lights on our cruise, it was a beautiful clear night and saw many stars. Views of Tromso were also beautiful. A nice evening.

Good way to wait for the NL only when the prediction is good. - A comfortable way to view the northern lights while you wait in the well heated cabins. Only downside is that the light needs to be out in the sky over the exact route the boat takes, so good to book with the prediction checked. We had a no show. None the less, if u have nothing else for the night you can relax in the boat. We got bored after a while cuz no lights and once it is dark there is nothing to see outside and no entertainment on board either. They serve you a bowl of warm soup.

Chilled Tromso boat tour at night - It’s a cruise around Tromso island in a pleasant electric boat. If you want to hunt for the aurora I would recommend a land tour. If you fancy a chilled boat trip the this is for you. I’m sure it’s better if you see the aurora!

Not quite what they promise - They promised a cruise but actually they were just running around in circles for Tromso. The food was okay. Nice view of Tromso, but after fifteen minutes you can see it and then you have to sit on the boat for another 3 hours.

Average - The boat was nice and the wifi plus bathrooms on board was convenient. The weather wasn’t look like we would see the northern lights so I wish they would have cancelled it or gave a refund for it. The ride is only 2 hours and I don't feel it is enough time to see the northern lights.
