Aurora Dinner Cruise

General information

This tour is operated by Brim Explorer.

Enjoy a locally prepared three-course dinner while cruising through the fjords surrounding Tromsø aboard a hybrid-electric vessel. The heated indoor saloons offer panoramic views of the Arctic landscape as the vessel sails away from the city lights.

During the cruise, your hosts will share stories about Tromsø, Northern Norwegian food traditions and the importance of the fishing industry to the region.

If conditions are favourable, you may also have the opportunity to see the Northern Lights in the night sky above the fjords. Their strength and visibility vary, and sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Under normal conditions, approximately 75% of the cruise is completed using electric propulsion, offering a quieter experience as you explore the Arctic surroundings.
