Even though the whale watching tour became a scenic fjords sightseeing tour due to the weather, it was a great experience on the cruise!

Once in a lifetime experience! We saw a family of orcas which was amazing! The boat ride to Skjervoy where they gathered is beautiful as well and the boat is comfortable. It's super nice to have a live guide in place too! Very knowledgeable and entertaining

There's obviously never any guarantee of what you will and wont see with wildlife involved, but I understand that they have a pretty good hit rate and we were lucky to see many pods of orcas on our day out. Apparently a fin and a humpback whale were also spotted - we didn't see these, but this didn't detract from our experience. There is also such beatiful scenery throughout the trip, regardless of the wales. Really breathtaking. Dacia and Adrian were engaging and entertaining guides (you get told a bit about the area, the arctic, the whales etc. which we found very interesting and was delivered really well) and felt very looked after by the whole crew in general. It was a shame some people talked over them, but I guess there may be a language barrier involved for some. We went in early January and it gets very cold out on deck, to come prepared with your layers (and there's delicious chai for sale to warm you up afterwards). It's worth saying we were worried about being sea sick, but we took medicine (ginger capsules) and were also lucky with the conditions which never got too rough so we got through unscathed.

Every moment was magical in this ship. Warm indooor. Cold outdoors. You have the confidence of warming yourself up immediately once entering the cabin. So you are free to stand outside in the open even with my 7 year old kid i was confident and we had great time outdoors and indoors. WiFi was great (to manage kid specially and for adults by posting in social media) Conor, Olek and Nilma were the host and they were super helpful all throughout. My son fell down on the way out during disembarking Conor was sweet to put in a sticker to cheer him up. Quick, fun talk by Conor. Educational, eye opening talk by Olek and great service by Nilma while checkin and in the counter were great And last but not least. Oh man. What a site of the Orca pods. We travelled with them for 2 hours straight. Could see, hear them breath was so great. The captain was super efficient in tracking their move and staying along with them yet not disturb them out in their habitat was great. Definitely a day not to forget for us in our life

Not the closest although one whale did get withing 30 feet from boat. But not as vivid as promotional videos and photos lead you to believe. Plus having to find a good spot to take photos and videos with the other 150+ people clamoring on the rail. Still worth the approx $150 usd paid. Also I'm def glad I packed my own snacks and drinks as they charge on top of what you already paid to be on excursion.

Set sail from Tromso on an 8 to 9-hour whale-watching cruise aboard a purpose-built hybrid-electric boat, switching to silent electric operation around the whales.

Getting started

Meet at the pier beside Skarven Kro Restaurant at Kaigata 6 in Tromso at least 15 minutes before departure. Board your boat and settle into the heated panoramic lounges or head to one of three outdoor viewing decks as you leave the city.

What to expect

Searching for Arctic whales

Cruise toward the whales' current feeding grounds, taking in fjords, snow-covered mountains, and frozen seascapes along the way. Marine biologist guides share insights into whale behavior, migration, feeding patterns, and Arctic life while the crew searches for wildlife.

When whales are spotted, the boat switches to its silent electric motor to reduce noise and vibration. Look for orcas, humpback, fin, and sperm whales while observing them with minimal disturbance before cruising back to Tromso.

Features:

Silent whale watching: The vessel switches to electric propulsion around whales, reducing noise and disturbance while they feed and move naturally.

Purpose-built hybrid-electric boat: Watch from three outdoor decks or stay inside the heated lounges with floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows.

Marine biologist guides: Hear stories and insights about whale behavior, migration, feeding, and Arctic nature throughout the journey.

Flexible whale search: The route follows the whales' current feeding grounds rather than a fixed destination, giving the crew flexibility to search where activity is occurring.

Wrapping up

After your whale-watching session, you’ll cruise back to Tromso with memories of Arctic marine life few get to witness.

What to bring

Warm clothing: Wear warm outer layers, including wool, a hat, and gloves, especially if you plan to spend time on the outdoor decks.

Seasickness medication: The cruise can get wavy, so consider bringing seasickness medication if you're prone to motion sickness.

What’s not allowed

Outside food and drinks: Outside food and beverages are not permitted on board. Food and drinks are available for purchase.

Accessibility

Mobility and sensory assistance: Contact in advance if you require assistance with reduced mobility or impaired vision or hearing.

Additional information

Arrival time: Arrive at least 15 minutes before departure.

Whale sightings: Whales are wild animals, so sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Group size: The tour operates with 8 to 140 guests and requires a minimum of 8 participants.

Electric cruising: Around 10% of the overall tour uses the electric engine, including silent electric operation around the whales.

Weather: If weather conditions prevent whale watching, the tour may continue as an Arctic Fjord Cruise.

Pets: Dogs and cats are permitted on board when kept on a leash and managed considerately around other guests.
