“Unfortunately we did not see the northern lights on the night we went out. However due to the second chance guarantee we were able to go again. We had the confirmation that we could go out again within 5 minutes of returning. We went out the next night and saw the lights. The guides are so friendly and knowledgeable and are happy to answer any questions. The trip offers free tea and coffee and has other drinks and snacks for purchase. This boat option was so much better for us than a mini bus as there was so much space, you could move around easily and rest rooms. We would…”

Review of Tromsø’s 3-hour Aurora Cruise with dinner, electric boat, northern lights chances, food, timing, comfort, and value.
“Honestly, I did not like this cruise and felt it was a waste of money. We paid close to $400 ISD. only to go about a mile to a mile and a half into the bay. We had to purchase wine separately, which I understand, but the food was not up to the par. The fish dish was very basic with mediocre plating. We were all hoping and expecting to see the Northern Lights, but the experience was nothing like what was advertised. I would not recommend this cruise—please don’t waste your money. That said, the crew was very polite and genuinely nice.”

“The crew and tour guides are lovely, couldn’t do more for you to ensure upmost comfort. Knowledgeable about the whales and northern lights with several talks across the 2 days. We learnt lots of new things. Cabins are comfy and warm and there’s several food choices at each meal. All you of what we had was lovely. Whilst we didn’t get to see the northern lights due to cloud cover the polar twilight gave impressive scenery and beautiful colours in the sky. We did see loads of humpback whales including several breaches and several pods of killer whales some getting pretty close. An amazing trip and one to remember for…”

“it was a lovely way to spend an evening and even though we didnt see the lights it was still enjoyable. The lady on the microphone needs to get some brevity training. Her information was fine, but so highly repeated and late at night I think most would have enjoyed more silence, rather than repeated information. All staff were lovely to interact with.”
