First we would like the captain again for taking us out during a such an intense snowstorm! We were able to catch clear pockets of sky and stars. Soaking in the hot tub while floating on the Norwegian Sea with the heavy snowfall was an amazing experience. I felt just like the Japanese macaque. Lol We all had a great time aboard and it was warm and cozy under deck when we wanted to get out of the snow. The stew was hot and delicious and it was nice to pick what time we wanted to eat. It was easy to see how much the ship is loved and cared for, it was beautiful with the old wood interior and was comfortable. Everyone had a fantastic night and will remember it forever.

Had a lovely time cruising with Sachi and Kenneth on the Northern Lights cruise. Met some lovely people and tried reindeer stew for the first time which was beautiful. Unfortunately we didn’t see any Northern Lights but it was lovely to meet Sachi and Kenneth and would highly recommend this cruise if you want a small group of 12 or less and there is a hot tub on board if you want to take a dip.

Incredible experience! Karl is super friendly and attentive to his guests. The boat is fantastic, he knows the fjords like the back of his hand and is always happy to teach about the local flora and fauna. A wonderful encounter, and on top of all that Karl takes his time : sailing trip, fishing, and enjoying soup made with the day's catch : we felt right at home! Thank you again for everything, I highly recommend it! Laurent

Amazing! The boat captain and his wife are absolutely lovely. We were scheduled time in the hot tub so we were able to enjoy the experience privately, not in a group as we originally thought. Showers, dinner, warm drinks and snacks were provided and all was wonderful. If you are looking for a relaxing evening under the northern lights, do not pass this experience up!

One of the best experiences ever! The crew was very pleasant and knowledgeable. The hot tub underneath the northern lights was an out of this world experience, not to mention the food afterwards was delicious!! Would book again in the future!

Firstly, what wonderful people the hosts are! The boat is so comfortable and classy, cosy inside. Our host is an ex captain so he knows his stuff! Saatchi made the most delicious reindeer stew, cooked with time and love. (I always said that I would never eat reindeer stew but it was amazing!) :) The captain called us up to deck when the lights appeared (so that we didn’t have to stand in the cold on deck). There was lovely coffee and hot chocolate, cookies at our leisure. And then a miracle happened before our eyes! Her majesty aurora came out in all her glory and beauty and she dazzled and danced across the sky all around us! Nobody back home could believe how incredible our pics were! Even people who had visited before said that our show was nothing compared to theirs! I highly recommend these lovely people!!!!

The owners are phenomenal!!!!!!!! The vessel had plenty of room below to get out of cold. The food was amazing. You can tell they really love what they do. We went out on an overcast night with not much expectation of seeing anything. The Captain was still optimistic that there was a chance. We mothered for a bit and the we saw a break in the clouds. We waited a bit longer and then the Captain’s face lit up. The Northern Lights came out and he got so excited running around the boat to make sure everyone knew. The Captain and his wife both went around offering to take photos of everyone. Was a great experience and would do it again.
