24hrs Northern Lights & Whale Watching Cruise

The whole package was well planned and organised. We were well look after and had a busy but manageable plan of events. We were lucky as only 15 people on the tour - it is end of the season. Food was excellent and all staff were friendly and helpful. We did see several sperm whales and the captain made such an effort to do so- we went way out but so worth it. We did the dorsal fin of an Orca but they are wild animals and that's the beauty. We saw the Northern lights on the way back- which was special too. Loved it - thank you. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to the Owners cabin - our anniversary - such a thoughtful touch. Much appreciated

Two of our party had sea sickness due to boat movement but that was because we went so far out. We would visit again but earlier in the season to avoid this.

Es war großartig,wir hatten eine traumhafte Zeit auf dem Schiff,sehr sehr nette Besatzung, Lucia eine sehr freundliche junge Frau die es super erklärt und den Beruf lebt. Wir hatten mit allem Glück,Nordlichter gesehen,verschiedene Wale gesehen,großartige Besatzung im Restaurant,immer bemüht.

I booked the 24hr whale watching and Northern Lights trip with booking.com for the Norwegian travel boat trip combining both activities. The trip was for the 30/12/2025. I have travel to many places in my life and have experienced a significant range of services. This trip was incredible and will stay in my memory forever. The scenery was breathtaking, all of the staff was superb and the guides for the northern lights and the whale watching were phenomenal. We experience the northern lights and the whale watching was out of this world, Definitely a bucket list experience

Nothing

The cruise was one of the most beautiful experiences. Starting with the reception, the staff were extremely kind and welcoming. Our initial meeting was at the office, after which we headed to the ship. We received a wonderful welcome onboard, and one of the staff members personally escorted us to our cabin. The room was expected to be small due to the size of the ship, but it was very clean and the bed was comfortable. As for dining, breakfast was not a full buffet—only a few simple items were available, while the rest had to be ordered from a limited menu. Lunch and dinner, however, were quite good; the food was tasty, clean, and of high quality. The staff were exceptionally polite and hospitable. They explained the different types of whales and the reasons behind the appearance of the Northern Lights. Yes, the cruise is expensive, but it is truly worth it for several reasons. First, it saves you from long bus tours that can last up to six hours. While on the ship, you can comfortably watch the Northern Lights from multiple locations and on several occasions, which saves you from booking separate tours. Whale watching is also included, which is one of the main activities in Tromsø. In addition, the cruise includes a comfortable overnight stay, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as educational explanations about everything you see. It is truly worth it and highly recommended.

Nothing it’s just perfect

Very fantastic and welcoming staff, starting with the captain, the amazing guides and the hole crew. The atmosphere was so calm and balanced. Couldn’t have been better.

This is really a bucket list trip and everything was fulfilled to more than 100%. We did see northern lights and more than 50 orcas and plenty of humpbacks whales. Really amazing. The guides gave some fascinating insight briefings on both northern lights and whales, and they lifted the experience and expectation to a high level.

The staff were amazing - all of them - with particular mention to the two guides, Lucia and Jana, who were interesting, intelligent, knowledgeable and personable. Ideal! The whole idea of spending 24 hours on a boat looking for Northern Lights and whales is genius - and the trip didn't disappoint. We saw Northern Lights even before leaving harbour, and more whales than you could count. Waking up in the fjord was magical - so still, so serene. We were also treated to a surprise cake and glass of wine as it was our wedding anniversary, which was a lovely gesture.

This isn't a cheap trip - that's the only downside. It's billed as a "bucket list" cruise and it delivers, but will be outside some budgets I would say. Saying that, I would urgent people to jump in with both feet and try it. Discounts were available close to sailing, and you need to factor in the three included meals, the two "trips" (Northern Lights and whale watching) and the overnight stay of course, if you are comparing to a hotel + meals out + excursions alternative.

Amazing experience ! We didn’t get to see the northern light due to snow storm, but we saw many many many whales! Was incredible experience. The boat sailed very slowly so generally we had no sickness, plus because it was sailing over night- we arrived to a further away location than all the day-trip boats. So we encountered the whales in a location with no other boat around

The rooms were quite small and basic (but clean) and food was ok

Beautiful landscape and trip, adorable crew and atmosphere. Insane encounter with whales under the winter light.
