Tromso Electric Northern Lights Cruise
Overview
Available languages
3 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
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.

Putting the bore into borealis

2.00It was a cloudy night in Tromso, so I was excited at the prospect of hitting the fjords and chasing the lights on a 3.5hr trip. Sadly not. This was basically a very slow, dull boat trip around Tromso island. At one point the boat just stopped and bobbed about near the airport for half an hour to waste time before heading back to the city. I’m sure it’s amazing when the skies are clear - just remember to cancel 24h before if the forecast isn’t great. I wish I did!
Great Crew / Experience - Bad Weather Night

4.00Took this cruise as a last ditch opportunity to check out the Northern Lights. Unfortunately, the weather was bad and nothing was visible. The boat and crew were great- explaining everything and trying their best to get us somewhere to see the lights. My only gripe would be that the soup included in a weird veggie one vs a standard chicken noodle or something more common. The cookies were also hard as rocks.

5.00This trip was great. The crew was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It was like being invited to spend an evening on a friend’s boat. They kept an eye out for the aurora and the captain found some holes in the clouds on a snowy evening. We saw very fine aurora and had an excellent and very Norwegian dinner. Highly recommended.
Enjoyable night despite not ‘cruising’. Lovely meal.

4.00Had the weather been good would have given 5 stars. Unfortunately there were high winds and snow on the night we cruised and as result didn’t cruise as such. We were offered a full refund with no meal or 50% refund with meal. We chose to stay on board end enjoy the meal. If you’re not a fish eater the vegetarian option was delicious. Shame about the weather but that is out of everyone’s control and we enjoyed the night anyway.
Highly recommended tour!

5.00Even if we only saw a single Northern Lights, the ride was a great experience! The ship is great, wonderfully quiet, no diesel stench, you glide calmly through the night. The tour guide was very sympathetic and dedicated, conveyed many stories, background and facts. The whole crew was great. And also the vegetarian soup was very delicious and just the thing after the aurora sighting. Highly recommended!
Wonderful

5.00We 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.
