“A Memorable Cruise in Tromsø Boat trip around Tromsø was absolutely spectacular! The highlight of our onboard dining experience was undoubtedly the fish soup, which thanks to my captain, Per! Whether you're a first-time visitor or a returning traveler to Tromsø, this boat trip is an essential experience that showcases the beauty of Norway's northern coastline. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Tromsø!”
Warm hot-tub luxury on a Tromsø yacht to chase the Northern Lights, with reindeer soup, hot drinks, and small-group comfort.
“Firstly seeing the Northern Lights is a lottery not a guarantee, and although on this occasion we didn't see them (cloudy snowy weather), both Captain Kennet and Sachi were engaging, welcoming and professional and we still had a fab time. The interior of the boat was comfy and cosy and the reindeer stew was very tasty. Despite no Northern Lights, it was quite the experience to sit in a hot tub on a boat in the artic while it snowed! As we were on the deck, we caught Kennet for an impromptu chat as we were returning to port. Kennet is Tromso born and bred and has family roots going…”

“Absolutely fantastic. Well worth it. Kenneth our captain, is so passionate about what he does. He makes sure we leave with beautiful memories, and new friendships. He has years of experience on the sea so we felt very safe aboard. The lunch was like something you would get at a fine restaurant. It was delicious. I highly recommend this trip.”
3-hour Tromsø luxury catamaran for Northern Lights, thermal suits, warm drinks, snacks, and fish soup.
“Fantastische schipper Piere, ontzettend vriendelijk en werkte hard om je een goede ervaring te geven. Nadat we op de heenweg veel bewolking hadden en niets konden zien, hebben we op de terugweg nog een poging gewaagd op het dek en kregen we een ontzettend mooie Noorderlicht show te zien.”
A 3-hour Tromsø fjord cruise on the Arctic Queen with thermal suits, warm fish soup, and views of islands and snowy peaks.
“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”

“trip was reschedule as said by boat operator, but the next day weather was too bad he took us for the tour, in fact weather with some cloud on booking day was very good to see the sky but it didn't happen. I feel your was rescheduled due to low booking on that day, because next day as well we were only few people. it should be investigated.”
