We had such a great experience that day! :) Firstly, everything was very well organized. We received a mail the day before the tour that it was fully booked and that everyone should arrive at the meeting point earlier for a smooth start. MS Gabriele was very spacey, there were tables to sit at and comfortable seats. At the bar in the centre of the boat, people could always buy drinks and snacks. One way was approximately 2 hours, but our guides were giving really interesting information about the whales and the arctic all the time. Also, we were always allowed to stay on deck and observe the ride. Then, when we finally arrived at the whale watching spot, our guide Martina would be outside with us, instructing everyone where to look at, what to look for, etc. We saw plenty of whales, some tails - it was really, really nice and an unforgettable experience! :)

Good food, well organized, no northern lights. I've seen the Aurora as part of a bus chase, but there was some light pollution. With the boat, we're really very far from any city and it's almost completely dark in some areas, so I can imagine it would be fantastic to see the Northern Lights on this trip, but you need some luck. The dinner was good and the crew attentive. I wouldn't do it if I knew in advance we wouldn't see the lights, since then it's just an expensive, though pleasant, dinner in a boat. But of course that is impossible to predict and you may want to try your luck.

A wonderful experience which was a birthday surprise for me! Staff were welcoming and food was fabulous. Norwegian tapas starter, hot salted cod main and cold dessert. All delicious and made perfect with the display of northern lights.
