Meals, hot drinks, snacks and a thermal flotation suit are included; the cruise is priced per group. 4.92 from 118 reviews at €1264 per group/vehicle for 22h–1 day. In our comparison: #18 of 52 in Northern Lights Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## 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. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Please check-in at the Norwegian Travel… - Starts 19:00: one departure a day - Food included: Coffee, Tea & Snacks, All meals (dinner,… **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €1264 per group/vehicle for the 1 Person _ Private Cabin option; other options up to €1264 - Duration: 22h–1 day - Rating: 4.92/5 from 118 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Arctic Resorts - Group: Shared tour · private option available - Guide languages: English - Start times: 19:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-11-08 ## Reviews 4.92 from 118 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 98% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 116 of 118. - 5 stars: 114 (97%) - 4 stars: 2 (2%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 2 (2%) ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | 1 Person _ Private Cabin | €729 per group | English | Twin Cabin Single Occupancy | | 2 Person _ Double Cabin | €1264 per group | English | Double Cabin | | 2 Person _ Twin Cabin | €1264 per group | English | Twin Cabin | ## What's included - Coffee, Tea & Snacks - Roundtrip boat cruise - All meals (dinner, breakfast, lunch) - Expert Guides - Professional Expedition Team - Arctic Cuisine - Thermal flotation suit - Ocean Facing Cabin - Chasing of Northern Light in the Arctic Sea ## Itinerary 1. **Tromso** (4h) - Please check in at the Norwegian Travel Shop, located on the top floor of Tromsø Havn Prostneset at Samuel Arnesens gate 5, any time on the day of your departure during their opening hours from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
