## Overview

Be a part of a small group sailing beyond the fjord, away from light pollution for prime Northern Lights viewing. Spend 24 hours at sea, departing in the evening from Tromsø. 
The first goal of the trip is chasing the amazing Northern Lights. As we go through the Auroral Oval Zone, far away from the city lights, this is one of the best places in the world to observe this unforgettable light show.

Enjoy a 3-course dinner at our Arctic restaurant and unwind after in the panorama lounge with a drink and an engaging Northern Lights lecture. As night falls, rest in your cozy cabin, gently rocked by the waves as we head toward whale-watching areas. 

The next day, wake up to the possibility of spotting whales just outside your cabin. Spend hours observing these majestic creatures up close in peaceful ocean surroundings. Our expert guides will share fascinating insights into whale behavior and biology, making your experience both thrilling and educational.
