General information
This tour is operated by Rødne Fjord Cruise.
Watch the Northern Lights dance across the Arctic night sky from the spacious outdoor viewing decks or from the warm lounge with panoramic windows.
After darkness settles over Tromsø, we leave the city lights behind and head into the surrounding fjords in search of the best possible viewing conditions. Our knowledgeable guides and experienced crew use local expertise and up-to-date forecasts to find the areas with the greatest chance of seeing the Northern Lights.
Tromsø is one of the best places in the world to experience the Aurora Borealis. Along the way, you can enjoy views of the city's waterfront, the Arctic Cathedral and the surrounding mountains while learning more about this fascinating natural phenomenon.
Our modern and sustainable catamaran is spacious, quiet and comfortable, making it the perfect choice for a Northern Lights cruise on a cold Arctic winter evening. Large outdoor viewing decks provide excellent opportunities to experience the Northern Lights, while the warm indoor lounge with panoramic windows allows you to enjoy the scenery in comfort. Complimentary coffee and tea are served on board throughout the cruise.
During the journey, our enthusiastic guides share fascinating stories about the Northern Lights, covering both the science behind the phenomenon and the myths and legends that have fascinated people for generations. Learn more about this spectacular natural phenomenon while enjoying the relaxing atmosphere on board.
Although our guides and crew do everything they can to find the best possible viewing conditions, the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and cannot be guaranteed. If you do not see the Aurora Borealis during your cruise, you will receive a free ticket for the next available Northern Lights cruise during the same winter season.

About Rødne Fjord Cruise
The Arctic winter is magical.
Humpback whales burst out of the sea in the blue twilight. Orcas, often called killer whales, glide through the icy waters. The mystical Northern Lights dance across the night sky.
Feel like an Arctic explorer aboard our spacious and modern catamarans, perfect for comfortable cruises in the far north. The twin-hull catamaran design provides a stable ride, even in rough seas. Enjoy the cruise in the comfort of our luxurious cabin with panoramic windows, then venture out into the brisk polar air onto our roomy decks for a closer look. Our expert local guides will keep you informed in both Norwegian and English.
During the polar night of the Arctic winter, we offer daytime cruises in search of humpback whales and orcas. In the evening, you can join us as we seek out the spectacular Northern Lights aboard our high-speed ferry, which quickly and comfortably takes us away from the light pollution of Tromso.
Both the whales and the unforgettable displays of the Aurora Borealis are natural phenomena that cannot be guaranteed. What we can guarantee is that if you do not see them on one cruise, we will give you a free ticket for the next available cruise.
Rødne has more than 60 years of experience showcasing Norway’s stunning fjords. In fact, we are Norway’s largest family-owned express ferry company.
Rødne operates with the utmost respect for our beloved fjords. We are proud to be certified as an environmentally responsible tour operator under the strict criteria of Norway’s Eco-Lighthouse Foundation.
