Cruise Tromsø’s winter fjords, fish for cod, spot Arctic wildlife, and enjoy hot drinks, thermal suits, and fresh fish soup onboard.
“I thought it was excellent. Everyone—the captain, the guides, and the chef—was very friendly. The food was delicious, and there were plenty of free snacks. The boat was very stable. Because of the weather, many activities were canceled, and I thought our trip would be very bumpy, but it was surprisingly smooth. We saw many beautiful views.”
Review of Tromsø’s 9-hour hybrid-electric whale tour, with practical advice on whales, boat comfort, cost, seasickness, timing, and what to bring.
“Fantastic day - the guides were great giving you lots of information along the way but not too much. Free refill of tea and coffee was much appreciated especially after watching the Orkas that we were lucky enough to see. Warm cabin although I thinking you were sitting at the back it would have been a bit chilly. Plenty of time to watch the whales.”

Review of Tromsø’s 4-hour Arctic fjord cruise, with silent hybrid sailing, fish racks, wildlife, underwater drone views, and practical tips.
“Delightful afternoon exploring the fjords! The boat is well-equipped and warm inside. It has a restroom and food and drinks for purchase (wine/beer available). I suggest getting in line early to secure a seat on the top floor in the front if possible. Really, there are no bad seats as the views are 360 degrees through windows, and from the outside decks if you don't mind the weather. The drone gave us a fantastic underwater view of the sea life. We were surprised to see starfish and jellyfish everywhere! There were no fish on the racks at our stop, but we learned a lot about the industry and history. Stunning…”

We had to shell and dehead the shrimps and the gulls followed the ship. It rounded off a fabulous trip to oslo.”

Review of Bergen’s Viking village, Nærøyfjord electric cruise, and Flåm Railway tour, with practical tips on price, timing, weather, and value.
“Our guide Tracy was great! Friendly and funny and did a great job keeping us all together. Beautiful scenery. Fjord cruise was highlight for us. Viking village was a bit touristy and I could not understand our Viking’s accent very well but the axe thrower showed me how to throw an axe and that was fun. Train rides were beautiful. A long day but beautiful and fun.”
