Great location right at the Scandia hotel at the waterfront. The boat is very stable. They serve refreshment : chips, cookies and hot drinks. Exposure suits are available and animal skins to sit on. Small group of six or eight is the capacity.

i went on this cruise with my friend on 13 Oct and we ended up being the only guests as the other guests did not turn up! we had the best service and views of the northern lights about 1 hour away from the city. we laid down on the netting outside and admired the northern lights from above- truly magical! we were rewarded with delicious fish soup on the way back!! our skipper was so friendly and also shared his experiences with us, I really appreciate the nice experience and it was a great finale for our last night in norway!

My group of 4 took a ten day trip through Norway and Sweden, and at the end of the trip we unanimously decided that this cruise was the highlight of our travel. We were extremely lucky to have gotten a break in the weather, and being able to see the northern lights was an unforgettable experience. Even if we hadn't been able to see the lights, the boat trip was fun and relaxing and Captain Larsen took great care of us. He makes a great fish soup! I highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Tromsø.
