Your experience on the Arctic Princess

Begin your adventure at Tromso's harbor as you board the Arctic Princess, a modern and comfortable catamaran purpose-built for scenic Arctic cruising. An expert guide welcomes you aboard, offering insightful commentary on the unique phenomena of the Northern Lights and the science behind the aurora borealis as you prepare to set sail into the cold northern night.

Sailing into the Arctic night

Your 3-hour journey takes you away from the glow of city lights, giving you the best chance to witness the wonders of the night sky. As the engines hum quietly, glide across the still waters that frame Tromso Island while relaxation becomes effortless in a cozy heated lounge with panoramic windows. Guests are invited to bundle into free thermal suits and step onto the open lounge terrace, where clear skies often reveal nature's spectacular light show.

Aurora viewing in comfort

The Northern Lights, also known as the aurora borealis, appear as mesmerizing ribbons of color—green, pink and occasional violet—across the Arctic sky. Watch in awe from inside the warm saloon or outside on deck while your guide shares tips for photographing the aurora and stories of Arctic heritage. The boat’s unique design ensures every guest enjoys an optimal viewing spot, whether inside or on the spacious terrace.

Norwegian hospitality on the water

Throughout the evening, enjoy unlimited warm beverages such as coffee and tea, as well as tasty snacks to keep you cozy. The highlight of the culinary experience is a freshly prepared traditional Norwegian fish soup served as you return to Tromso, giving you a true taste of local flavor and culture out at sea.
