Guides such as Alisha, Suzi, and Frederik add history and humor, while panoramic windows, an outdoor deck, café, and warm cabin make the cruise work in changing weather.
“The boat was very quiet which was amazing for cruising the fiords. The commentary was very good pointing out places of interest on the shore as we sailed past. I recommend this tour.”
Board the Arctic Princess beside Scandic Ishavshotel for a three-hour cruise through Tromsø’s fjords and islands. Your English-speaking captain may include fishing, local stories, and views of the German destroyer Tirpitz wreck site. Thermal suits, hot drinks, snacks, and fish soup are included.
“We had booked for the afternoon fjords trip but we changed due to weather to the morning trip which had finishing involved too. This made the trip for my partner he caught a tiny haddock, the boat was lovely inside and the captain was brilliant funny, knowledgeable and a great fish soup chef! This was amazing to see the views being on the water is my favourite thing so even tho I didn’t take part in the fishing I had a great time and my partner loved it too. Would HIGHLY recommend if you like boats, views and finishing. Special thank you to our captain for keeping us safe and…”
Join Captain Kenneth and Sachi aboard Stella Oceana for a four-hour Northern Lights cruise from Tromsø. The small yacht carries up to 12 people and includes reindeer soup, hot drinks, a hot tub, changing room, and warm indoor seating. Aurora sightings depend on weather and conditions.
“This was an absolute highlight of our trip and one of the most magical experiences of my life. The captain and his wife are both beautiful people who love not only what they do but the city itself and their passion shows. The reindeer stew was lovely and the inside of the cabin is not only charming, but toasty warm and a perfect place to spend a bit of a time getting warm between checking out the views. The hot tub was also great and there's a system so each couple/group get time to soak. We did see the lights but even if you don't being out on the water…”
Spend about three hours aboard a luxury catamaran from central Tromsø. A local captain and guide point out Rya’s strong current, sea birds, dolphins, seals, Fjellheisen, and the Tirpitz story. Coffee, snacks, Wi-Fi, and warm suits are included. The boat returns to Fredrik Langes gate 2.
“The Captain was very knowledgeable and his stories of the historical significance of the area were very interesting.”
Cruise Tromsø’s nearby channels aboard the Arctic Queen for about three hours, with a captain-led route, warm onboard suites, hot drinks, snacks, and a possible stop near the former Tirpitz cutting site. The trip suits small groups, but confirm the exact route, boat setup, and private-use terms before paying.
“It was a great boat ride with some outstanding views of the fjords. The fish soup was truly outstanding that the Captain made, and the conversation with the Captain on his experiences were very memorable ... I highly recommend this trip.”
