Launching in Tromsø in the spring of 2024
The beauty of Tromsø's Skies
Tromsø, a city nestled in the heart of the Arctic, is a place where nature defies convention. In spring, the city is bathed in the soft hues of sunsets that paint the sky in a palette of fiery reds and gentle pinks. As summer approaches, these sunsets gradually give way to the midnight sun – a natural phenomenon where the sun remains visible at midnight, casting a surreal golden glow over the land.
🌅 Spring Sunset
April to May:
As the cruise sets sail in the evenings of spring, guests will witness the sun slowly dipping towards the horizon, creating a mesmerising display of colours. It's a perfect time for photographers and nature lovers to capture the serene beauty of the Arctic landscape under the soft glow of the evening sun.
☀️ Midnight Sun
June to August:
As the days lengthen and summer takes hold, the sunsets seamlessly transition into the midnight sun. This period offers a unique experience where the sun hovers at the horizon, refusing to set, creating a magical, endless day. It's an otherworldly experience that has to be seen to be believed.
Guided by Experts: Learn and Explore
Our in-person guides are passionate about the Arctic landscape and its unique phenomena. They'll share insights about the midnight sun, the science behind the extended daylight, and the history and culture of Tromsø. Their stories and knowledge will enrich your understanding and appreciation of this extraordinary region.
Photography Opportunity
Whether you're a seasoned photographer or just love taking pictures, this cruise offers endless opportunities to capture the stunning Arctic landscape under varying light conditions. From the soft pastels of spring sunsets to the golden hues of the midnight sun, every moment is a picture waiting to be taken.
The Route
Depending on the day we can take the ‘south’ or ‘northern’ route along Kvaløya coastline with sporadically dotted by villages and idyllic boathouses and fish drying racks. The route we take will be weather dependant and will be decided within the week of departure.
While we take in the midnight sun/sunset, we keep an eye out for birdlife that is particularly active and lively in the summer months. One particular bird that can sometimes be observes are puffins*, that nest on a few remote islands along the Norwegian coast between May and August.
*Please note that both wildlife and midnight sun can’t be guaranteed. It is dependable on nature and weather.
