Great excursion very well organized - We went on this boat, the trip was great, not only because the aurora was spectacular, the guides explained perfectly everything about the formation of the auroras, the legends they originate and also aspects of the stars that could be seen.

Very Nice tour , really... - Very Nice tour , really good vessel to hit waves in necessary case , very confortable . Crew well trained . The time with the whales is short in my opinion but it is due to special regulation to protect them , soo i’m fully agree with it . No food or any thing to eat included in a 6-8 h tours …. bring your own .

It only takes so long Culx but.... Top absolute 9 march - We had already left with the least hope... The navigation was short... The boat very comfortable and extremely pleasant... But once we found the right place.... The magic has begun... Above our heads and everywhere around us, we were captured and enveloped in the magic of THE DARKNESS... Concentrated but intense experience... You need just a lucky time... (MOST CXLO for Italian)

Great service without lights! - Being out on the boat was fun. The staff couldn't be more accommodating and highly knowledgeable. The weather did not provide a glimpse of the lights but we continue to have hopes for our next adventure.

Cruising through the Fjiords - The cruise was very nice. Unfortunately we were not able to see the Northern Lights. However the company offers the chance to book the cruise again until you see the Lights.

Northern Lights Catamaran - No lights but no complaints about the experience. Ample space on board for outdoor and indoor seating.

Depends on wearher - Comfortable ship, friendly crew…however, luck-of-the-roll weather determines whether it’s a good experience or not. Unfortunately, we rolled ‘snake eyes’ and had zero visibility to see the Northern Lights so it was a rather expensive & boring late night excursion.

Transportation by boat is... - Transportation by boat is really comfortable. Sightings of the Northern Lights from the boat were very limited as compared to viewings on bus tours (compared photo's with people who took a bus tour on the same night as I did the boat tour; location also on the south of Tromso).

No light cruise - We booked the cruise to 'see the lights'. Our previous two trips (with other tour operators) had been cancelled due to the 0% chance of seeing the lights due to the poor weather conditions. We checked in with the Catamaran company to see if the cruise would be cancelled.. they said no. Assuming the company obviously know more than we do, we went along. However, I feel the whole evening was just stringing us along to see the lights... that we were never going to see. The cruise literally did a lap of Tromso and whilst the crew were very good (lots of explaining about the lights, drink refreshments served with a smile and lovely attitude) I feel we should have been offered the opportunity for a refund knowing the weather was so poor. We were offered a free return trip... which due to us leaving the following day was not possible.

Complete disappointment - They cancelled last minute without any prior notice making excuse of bad weather. However other companies were taking groups
