Set off on an adventure into the total darkness of the Arctic fjords and Polar nights. We depart Tromsø and set sail to the place where the best weather conditions for the night have been predicted. This can be towards the areas of Kvaløyvågen or Ramfjorden or along the southern part of Kvaløya. The crew will work together and keep their eyes out for clear skies or a gap in the clouds. While we wait for the northern lights to appear, you can stay warm and comfortable in our heated lounges.
Throughout the evening our guides will share their knowledge and personal stories of the Northern Lights. From mythical stories from around the world to the scientific explanation of the Northern Lights. When we get lucky to spot the Northern Lights, we can put on our warm clothes and go outside to admire lady Aurora in the night sky. Some nights she shines bright in the sky and dances with different colours, while on other nights she's a bit shy and is only faintly visible or not visible at all.

We had ideal weather for our Electric Northern Lights cruise with Brim Explorer. The sky was clear and the water calm. All the staff were very helpful and knowledgeable and the lights put on a good show for us.

The ship was having technical difficulties and the crew was diligently working on the issue. Even after an hour, the crew could not fix the issue and gave us an option to get a refund. I chose refund. The problem is if we had been intimated earlier, I would not have made the 30 minute journey to Tromso and wait the same time in the cold to take this tour. It is pretty cold to wait outside in the Tromso weather. From many previous experiences, such problems do not get fixed in time. The organizers of this tour should keep the conveniences of the passengers in mind too. Getting a refund was not worth the effort spent to take this tour.

Brimes promises to refund the money if the weather conditions to see the polar lights are bad. 120 euros paid for a small round under clouds, almost always in the same place, turning in circles and for a soup. The most expensive soup in the world, probably. The probability of seeing auroras was 10% before the tour, just outside Tromsø, and the crew admitted that. They sold plenty of drinks and, with the boat full, made a tidy sum for nothing in two hours. An absolute flop.

After very low chances of being able to see the lights, we went out to a good location and were able to see the northern lights! It was a very pleasant boat ride and our host Tobias did an amazing job! A+++ 100% recommended!!
