Experience the Arctic evening from the sea and enjoy a meal featuring Northern Norwegian flavours aboard the historic wooden boat Hermes II, built in 1917.

General information

This tour is operated by Hermes II.

Join a three-hour evening cruise from Tromsø. On board the restored wooden boat Hermes II, you can enjoy the views from the deck, relax in the heated indoor saloons and hear the story of the boat and its role along the Northern Norwegian coast.

On clear evenings, the Northern Lights may appear above the mountains and fjords. As the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, sightings cannot be guaranteed. Even on cloudy evenings, the cruise offers an opportunity to experience the Arctic night from the sea.

During the cruise, you will be served a three-course meal from the local fishmonger Dragøy. The meal consists of a warm fish cake as a starter, creamy fish soup as the main course and lefse for dessert. Coffee, tea and toddy are included. Snacks and soft drinks can be purchased on board.
