Fjord & History Cruise

Feel the calm on board when we sail out of the harbour towards the nearby fjords & islands. On this boat trip you will experience a nice blend of the beautiful surroundings, the wildlife and the northern Norwegian coastal history.

About us

Hermes II from 1917 represents a piece of Northern Norwegian coastal history. Along the way, you will hear the story of the boat and the places we pass. There are also great photo opportunities along the entire route.On this trip, we often encounter eagles and seabirds. We often also see seals – and now and then a herd of reindeer appears on the shore at Kvaløya. You will also experience war history when we stop at the wreck of Tirpitz, which was sunk during World War II. An excellent trip for both locals and visiting guests, whether you just want to enjoy the boat experience and the surroundings around Tromsø, or are passionate about old boats and history. There will also be plenty of time to wander around and get to know the entire unique, old boat. And if you want to warm up a little extra, there is a great lounge below deck. You will also be served warm fish cake in your hand on these trips.
