    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 a warm salon or unwind 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.

      We’ve managed to see just a tiny bit of northern light because of pretty bad weather conditions but the guide Eduard make it up for us. Really nice conversations about Tromsø and northern Norway, hot tea and hot tub made it up for us. Very cool experience. We’ve taken the trip on the 5th of February 2021.

      Due to bad weather condition, we were not able to see the North light in our naked eyes but our nice tour guide was able to capture in his camera some glimpse of north light. But we had the great experience during the trip. Edward (tour guide) was very effective and informative. Jacuzzi helped us a lot to comfort us while waiting the appearance of Aurora Borealis. Looking forward for the rebooking but didnt hear anything from the agency.

      Amazing boat tour with an excellent and informative guide and captain - Eduard. The guide makes you feel warm and welcomed and takes you to the best locations as per the forecast to hunt Northern lights. Luckily for us, we saw a very good display of lights in our second try. Eduard also takes professional pictures which are shared later.
