Explore the Arctic Fjords by Sea from Tromsø

What to Expect During Your Arctic Fjord Cruise

Guests depart from Tromsø’s harbor on one of two main boats. On a modern low-noise hybrid catamaran, the cruise glides into fjords like Ramfjord, passing islands, coastal villages, and historic sites such as wartime facilities. Guests may disembark at a small fishing facility to learn about stockfish production, then return with scenic views of Kvaløya and Malangen. Alternatively, the cruise aboard the century-old wooden boat offers a journey rich in atmosphere. Guests absorb the history of the vessel, often spotting eagles, seals, or other coastal wildlife while learning about Tromsø’s surroundings and maritime past.

Scenic Cruising, Wildlife and Maritime Heritage

Both cruise options deliver striking coastal panoramas. On the catamaran, silence—not engine noise—enhances sightings of birds overhead or fish beneath using underwater video tools. On the wooden boat, the timeless deck invites guests to admire the fjords while immersed in maritime heritage. Both experiences offer genuine, relaxed immersion in Northern Norway’s seascape.

An Arctic fjord cruise from Tromsø offers a seamless way to witness fjord landscapes from the water, either in quiet modern comfort or aboard a timeless wooden sailing vessel full of character. It's a serene and scenic addition to a journey through Norway’s northern sea country.
