Tromsø: Evening Polar Expedition & Northern Lights Cruise

Chase the Northern Lights on a cozy evening cruise aboard a historic vessel, with onboard bar, stories of Arctic exploration, and aurora views.
Step aboard the MS Tromsø, Northern Norway’s proud explorer vessel from 1956, and set out on an unforgettable Northern Lights cruise. This evening journey is the perfect mix of Arctic storytelling, cozy atmosphere, and aurora hunting.

As you sail away from Tromsø, enjoy the ship’s warm interiors and unique history. The MS Tromsø has hosted grand adventures and even its own TV series, making it a floating piece of Arctic heritage. Onboard, you’ll find the city’s only cruise vessel with its own restaurant, bar, and kitchen.

During the trip, your local guide will share tales of polar expeditions and Arctic life. You’re welcome to visit the wheelhouse, chat with the captain, and even learn a little about polar navigation.

The real highlight comes when the Northern Lights dance across the sky. From the open decks, you’ll have unobstructed views of this magical natural phenomenon. When you return to the dock, you’re welcome to stay aboard — the ship’s observation deck is one of the best spots in Tromsø to continue aurora hunting, with the bar open for cozy drinks and snacks.

With room for 70 passengers and a friendly, informal atmosphere, this cruise offers a genuine local experience far from the typical tourist trail.
