Full description

Join an evening cruise to escape the city lights of Tromsø. Watch as the city lights fade into the distance and enter the serene darkness of the Arctic Circle. Cozy up in an outdoor jacuzzi under the Northern Lights or in the sauna onboard (subject to availability).

Your cruise course depends on the weather forecast and Solar Storm disturbance in Earth’s Magnetic Field. Once the course is set according to the highest possibility of seeing the Northern Lights, your guide will show you the amenities, spaces, and safety equipment of the ship.

Once the conditions are right, the captain will slow the boat to lightly drift along with the current. Witness the dancing Northern Lights and learn tips from your guides to catch the best photo. Your guide will also offer to take portraits of you and the Lights in the background with access to download them. Visit different locations, each one offering a different view of the northern lights. Experience the magic of the aurora borealis– the colors, the movement, and as northerners say, the sounds.

Know before you go

The tour sails on one of the local partner's three boats, depending on the number of bookings - Leone (12 passengers), Strønstad (30 passengers), or the Aurora Explorer (145 passengers). Leone and Strønstad have an onboard jacuzzi that passengers can use for free.
Please note, the jacuzzi is only available when the tour has fewer than 30 participants.
Just bring your swimwear, the local partner provides the towels.
