Step aboard our high-speed modern catamaran and join an exhilarating journey to the heart of the whale's winter wonderland.
Our swift vessel ensures that we are one of the first boats to arrive at the whale sighting area, maximising your time among these magnificent creatures.
During winter the humpback and killer whales migrate to Northern Norway, to the cold waters of Tromsø to feed on the Atlantic herring throughout the winter months (mid-October until end of January).
As we cruise to the whale location, you are treated to stunning views of the Lyngen Alps and a captivating, scenic voyage. Our knowledgeable guides offer insightful information about the whales and local history, ensuring a fun and educational experience. Relax in our spacious lounge, fitted with panoramic windows and watch the ocean wonders unfold.
During the main season and on days of high demand, we set up an extra departure with MS Rygertroll, a slightly smaller catamaran that can travel even faster than MS Rygerdronningen.
If you don't see any whales on your tour, you get to book a second tour for free at the Norwegian Travel sales shop (subject to availability on the next tour).
We are dedicated to providing eco-conscious experiences and our tours are designed to respect marine life. We follow the AECO guidelines for whale watching, and our company is Eco-lighthouse certified.
