Full description

Set sail on a hybrid electric catamaran cruise for the Arctic waters and observe marine animals in their natural habitat. Watch orcas and humpback whales feed in the icy fjords and admire the stunning landscapes around you.

Depart from Tromsø in the morning, and head out to where the whales are in time to enjoy the short hours of daylight. Take in the breathtaking views of frozen landscapes in comfortable, panoramic lounges, and multi-level decks. Find a selection of food and drinks for purchase on board.

Sail for about 3 to 3.5 hours to reach the whales and spend about 1 to 1.5 hours with them. The boat uses a hybrid engine to reach their feeding grounds. As you near the whales, the captain will switch to a silent electric engine that allows you to get close without disturbing them.

Includes
  • Experienced whale watching guide
  • Heated indoor saloons with panoramic windows
  • Purpose built hybrid-electric whale watching boat
  • Wi-Fi
  • Tap water
  • Food and drinks (available to purchase)

An enjoyable trip . Chairs not too comfortable for long spells. Crew very informative, explaining before hand what we were likely to see. I have difficulty getting about and so some areas best for observing the whales was hard for me to get to, but I enjoyed the trip. A soup was offered to some passengers who had ordered in advance. This had not been offered when I booked.

The tour was well organised, we were told the basic information about the wales and the service on board is very good! The scenery you get to see is incredible and totally worth it the price. We were lucky to see the wales on our day and the weather was fantastic what made it unforgettable! the best part is to stand outside and watch at the mountains etc., so I recommend to book it with a good weather forecast.

boat was excellent, spacious, lots of seating, windows all around from floor to ceiling so you didnt have to go outside in the cold if you didnt want to. crew were fab and the food and snacks were great. although most took food with them. boat holds about 150 i think they said from memory, clean facilities too. would highly recommend. long day at sea, the whole thing is from 8-5pm - its like 4 hours out, 1hr whale watching and 4 hours back but the scenery along the way is stunning and of course the boat may go to different places next time that arent so far out...something to check. we went to sverjoy.
