Stunning views of the fjords! The ship was wonderful and has a great story. Friendly and helpful crew. Would have loved more history, and still enjoyed the experience very much.

We loved everything about the Hermes II! The Crew were so fun and knowledgeable, and served the best blackcurrant hot drink. They had thermal gear for the folks that got cold, had storage for our laptops, and were always happy to chat and answer questions. The history of the boat is also so fascinating, but I guess you'll have to book to find out what I mean!
Great water trip, Tromsø by water is totally worth it!

Very lovely and enjoyable experience. The team were spot on and professional. We have seen many places and reindeers down the boat trip. The fjords/sea was thankfully settled and no big waves all along. The food snack and hot tea were perfect for the slightly chilly wind!

We enjoyed a very informativ cruise through the harbor and fjords near Tromsø. The crew (locals) was very accommodating and answered every question we had (about the ship, Tromsø and the wildlife). If you are interested in some of the local history while enjoying the scenery and seeing the wildlife there, this trip is highly recommended (even though it snowed a lot during our trip, we would recommend it anytime).
