The 15 Best Arctic Fjord Cruises from Tromso

43 reviewed

The sound never fully freezes, so the boats run all winter. These are the best fjord cruises from Tromso: which sail by day past sea eagles and snow-lined shores, which head out after dark for the aurora, how long you are on the water, and what warm layers and food each one lays on.

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,268 reviews · 4 hours · from $125

Tromsø fjord catamaran cruise with hybrid-silent sailing, wildlife spotting, a fish-farm stop, and an underwater drone over the kelp forest.

“For someone who doesn't do well on boats this was a smooth ride on a nice boat. Fully booked cruise but doesn't feel too crowded. Fred was a great commentator giving tidbit on the on goings around the fjord with humour. Really enjoyed it. And very informative. Scenery around the fjords was of course breathtaking with a nice short stop to see a fish museum and learn about fish racks. Only negative was probably an ok bottomless coffee. Had one but didn't bother with refills. Not a big deal!”

“Firstly, I don't really want to leave a negative review as the company, boat, staff etc. were really very good. So the positives, the food (pizza rolls, sweet potato soup, coffee with free refills) was very good and no more expensive than the rest of Tromso. There is a limited selection though so I should really have brought lunch with me. The departure point was easy to find, boarding was easy, plenty of comfortable seating, loads of outside deck space, the WIFI worked well (I had a teenager with me). The crew were great and the talks were interesting. We were warned just before departure that there would be some…”
