Mobile ticket

Be a part of a small group sailing beyond the fjord, away from light pollution for prime Northern Lights viewing. Spend 24 hours at sea, departing in the evening from Tromsø.

The first goal of the trip is chasing the amazing Northern Lights. As we go through the Auroral Oval Zone, far away from the city lights, this is one of the best places in the world to observe this unforgettable light show.

Enjoy a 3-course dinner at our Arctic restaurant and unwind after in the panorama lounge with a drink and an engaging Northern Lights lecture. As night falls, rest in your cozy cabin, gently rocked by the waves as we head toward whale-watching areas.

The next day, wake up to the possibility of spotting whales just outside your cabin. Spend hours observing these majestic creatures up close in peaceful ocean surroundings. Our expert guides will share fascinating insights into whale behavior and biology, making your experience both thrilling and educational.

  • Exceptional and one-of-a-kind experience

    BartD61,,Jan 4, 2026

    - Review from Tripadvisor

    If you booked a day trip like many other tourists do, you might want to reconsider. By unfortunate chance we had to reschedule our holiday and came across this cruise as an alternative for separate northern light tour and whale watching tour. It was in all ways a fantastic experience; the cruise, the very friendly service of the crew, the facilities on board, the food, very friendly and knowledgeable guides and above all: the most beautiful scenery you can imagine. From watching the northern lights in an intimate setting among the fjords, to waking up the next day and being in an almost magical bay all alone and in complete tranquility. All accompanied by interesting and entertaining lectures by the guides. This is not a mass tourist cruise, care was taken for every aspect of our experience. The price might scare you off, but considering the fact that you have a unique stay over (consider the pricy hotels in Tromso), it includes dinner, breakfast and lunch - all of a high standard yet still accessible for our teenagers - and brings you to unique locations you won’t see with many standard offerings, this cruise provides a high value for money.

    Booked this tour last minute and did not regret a second doing it. Weather was not on our side in the morning but we still trusted the process and the weather changed beautifully in minutes to the most beautiful scenery with hundreds of Orcas and Whales feeding themselfs. We also saw a stromg northern lights on the way back to Tromsø! Thank you!

    Awesome experience! Great opportunity to see northern lights, whales, and glacier. You wake up amongst the whales before any other tours arrive. Guides were very knowledgeable and food was incredible. Saw countless whales diving, swimming, spy hopping for hours. Very comfortable, well fed, and overall a very unique experience.

    You get cruise experience, whale watching, aurora hunting, accommodation and food in a package that is in my opinion even cheaper than if you book all of these things separately. The experience of seeing whales in the arctic fjords is amazing, and the guides and staff super nice.

  • Wonderful new year's whale !

    Wonderful cruise, we had the pleasure to see northern lights and whales (orcas AND humpbacks). The guides were really friendly and gave lectures about these topics that were interesting. The crew and captains made everything for us to enjoy the trip and facilitate the seeing of whales. The rooms were spacious enough (even in not superior) and the restaurant offered 3 options for every starters, meals and desserts (some are gluten free and / or vegetarian). There are free self-service hot drinks available. As a special for new year's eve, we could enjoy the fireworks from the boat with a free glass.

    This was the best travel experience I have ever experienced. Off the scale. The scenery was breathtaking. The Northern lights was incredible and the whale watching was mesmerising. All staff was phenomenal and the two guides were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and very friendly. I will never forget this experience

  • Unbelievable Orca and humpback sightings for hours - fabulous trip

    J416judy,,Dec 30, 2025

    Absolutely fantastic trip from start to finish. The whale watching was off the scale - groups of orcas including young visible at close quarters for hours of the trip in the morning, also groups of humpbacks - saw whales breech, swim backwards, sleeping, diving, bobbing - truly incredible views throughout. The cabin was comfortable, food good and the staff first class on both knowledge via 3 lectures given. Although we weren’t able to see the Northern Lights due to poor weather, observing large groups of whales up close was an unforgettable experience. Absolutely recommend if you can.

  • An experience you don’t want to miss!

    This was an absolutely fantastic 24 hours! A huge thank you to our passionate guides, Jana and Toine, for their engaging and informative lectures on the northern lights and whales. We’re also incredibly grateful to the entire crew for their exceptional service and genuine kindness. Waking up alone in the middle of a feeding frenzy with orcas and humpback whales was truly breathtaking, and the surrounding mountains were both peaceful and stunning. Unlike the day trips, we were able to spend hours alone with the whales before other boats even reached the water, which made the experience incredibly special. We enjoyed delicious three-course meals and stayed in comfortable, cozy cabins. This is an experience you absolutely don’t want to miss!

    Wonderful experience! We were very lucky to see soooo many whales - at least 20 humpback whales, many pods of orcas, some very tiny orca calves and a few fin whales. Very nice and serviceminded crew on board and the guides, Toine and Jana, were amazing - so professional and inspiring with their knowledge and experience. We absolutely recommend you to go on this tour
