“Great trip. Just the right length of time (3 hours). Really glad we booked this trip.”
Join Captain Kenneth and Sachi aboard Stella Oceana for a four-hour Northern Lights cruise from Tromsø. The small yacht carries up to 12 people and includes reindeer soup, hot drinks, a warm cabin, and scheduled hot tub time. Aurora sightings depend on weather and clear skies.
“Captain Kenneth and his wife Sachi have created the most amazing experience on this stunning vessel! What a joy to meet them and see the enthusiasm and excitement for the lights that matched our own. It was definitely the highlight of our trip and the PERFECT ending to our 10 day Tromso adventure! We went on New Year's Eve, which if you've never experienced in the city of Tromso, it is indescribably magical! Fireworks are literally EVERYWHERE throughout the city for HOURS! So imagine it: you're on this incredible, beautiful ship, hosted with the best food and lifetime experience of knowledge from your captain all while seeing the absolutely stunning…”

“Our host, Clement was very welcoming and made us feel at home on the boat. We were lucky enough to see seals but even without that was a lovely experience.”
Cruise Tromsø’s coastal channels aboard the Arctic Queen for about three hours with a captain, warm onboard suites, drinks, snacks, and possible fish soup. The route can include the Tirpitz wreck site, but low tide is needed, and the boat may not reach a true fjord.
“It was a great boat ride with some outstanding views of the fjords. The fish soup was truly outstanding that the Captain made, and the conversation with the Captain on his experiences were very memorable ... I highly recommend this trip.”
Set out from central Tromsø with Captain Kenneth and guide Sachi for a four-and-a-half-hour cruise through Balsfjorden. Expect Arctic scenery, possible seals or dolphins, reindeer soup, hot drinks, and a warm yacht interior. Add the deck hot tub and optional polar plunge for a braver finish.
“Fantastic day at sea with amazing crew - intimate with stunning views and a lifetime experience of jumping into the sea! All of the comforts you need were met.”
Set out from central Tromso at 8 pm for a four-hour northern lights cruise aboard a small catamaran. With up to eight people, warm suits, hot drinks, snacks, Wi-Fi, and guides such as Clement, Nick, Arno, and Haakon, you can watch from the deck or catamaran net.
“We didn’t see the northern lights our night out but it was such a great night learning about the animals and fiords of the area. Would do again!”
Join Captain Kenneth and the small World Sea Explorers crew aboard Stella Oceana, a 33-meter ice-class sailing ship carrying only 12 passengers. Cruise Balsfjorden for four and a half hours, with fjord views, wildlife spotting, reindeer stew, hot drinks, and an optional hot tub and polar plunge.
“Fantastic way to spend half a day. Hosts were just delightful and made you feel welcome, safe and they were attentive to your needs. If we get a chance to come to Tromso again we will definitely do another tour with them.”
From Tromsø’s floating jetty, you’ll board the Arctic Princess for a three-hour English-guided Aurora cruise. Stay warm in a thermal suit, watch the sky from the Panorama Saloon or outdoor daybeds, try fishing, and finish with traditional fish soup. Captain Piere is noted for going the extra mile.
“Excellent tour. The captain made a delicious fish soup for us. We had a great time.”
Cruise from Tromsø toward Eidkjosen aboard the Arctic Queen, passing Håkøya, Grindøya, and Sørbotn. You’ll get thermal gear, coffee, tea, snacks, fishing time, and hot Norwegian fish soup. The small group holds up to 11 people, with an English-speaking guide and skipper.
“The tour itself was good, great views and nice boat. But the tour guide was not nice or helpful he wasn’t informative didn’t even know if we saw the island. Fish soup was okay wouldn’t recommend going on the boat hungry. If we had a different guide would have enjoyed the tour better”
Set out from central Tromsø at 2 p.m. for a three-hour cruise aboard a stable luxury catamaran. Guide and skipper Per may share local stories while you fish for cod, watch the fjords and islands, and enjoy hot drinks, lunch, and warm fish soup.
“The tour was a lot of fun. We actually caught several fish that were processed into soup right away. The guide was very helpful. The way back was very unsettled with suddenly strong waves. You have to be seaworthy.Auto-translated”
Set out from central Tromsø at 10 pm aboard a luxury yacht for a small-group cruise around the city’s mountain and island views. Captain PS Larsen guides the trip, with lunch, snacks, coffee, tea, and other beverages included. Alcohol is available to buy onboard.
“We loved the experience. Watching the midnight sun on board of this cruise was unique. Captain PS Larsen was exceptional from the beginning to the end. By the way, he makes the best fish soup in the world.”
Join a small group in Tromsø for a hands-on fjord fishing trip with a skipper such as Per Ståle or Kurt. You will receive fishing help, warm drinks, snacks, and thermal suits when available. Keep some cod for a fresh fish soup served aboard on the way back.
“Originally our fishing tour was with Polar Explorations (but they decided they wouldn’t do the tour as we were the only two passengers!) They then referred us to this company instead; we had to pay extra as ostensibly this tour was to be on a Luxury Catamaran - yet, we ended up on a regular power boat - apparently the catamaran was being refurbished (?) It didn’t look like an unexpected repair at the last moment.”
Spend three hours aboard the Lagoon 450 catamaran from Tromsø, with mountain views, warm drinks, thermal suits, fish soup, and a chance to fish. Captain Per may be at the helm, and poor weather can lead to a boat or car-tour change, so keep plans flexible.
“Fantastic. 3 hours was fine and included some time for fishing”
You’ll cruise from Tromsø aboard the Arctic Queen with a guide such as Kurt, Per, or Thomas, depending on the departure. Expect Håkøya, Sørbotn, Grindøya, mountain views, a WWII site, warm drinks, lunch, and optional fishing during this three-hour, small-group trip.
“The whole experience was great. Per is a local, knows the areas. He has top gear in the yatch so you can fish at night. While we were watching his amazing homemade fish soup, we saw the northern lights. What a memorable night. Seeing the lights from the water is a better experience for the kids than chasing by car for 5 hours.”
Sail from Tromsø at 10pm aboard the small Arctic Princess catamaran for about three hours. You’ll see islands, mountains, birds, and the city from the water, with time on deck or in a heated cabin. A local skipper, snacks, hot drinks, and a warm meal are included.
“Arctic Cruise in Noway AS gave me the possibility to have one of the most beautiful evenings/nights I ever had.”
