Your Cruise
Join Tromsø trips aboard the historic MS Tromsø, Northern Norway’s proud explorer vessel from 1956.
More than just a boat, this ship offers authentic Arctic cruise in Norway experiences with a unique restaurant, bar, and kitchen on board. Unlike standard tours, a Tromsø cruise with us blends comfort with real polar heritage, sharing tales from legendary expeditions and even the vessel’s international TV series, where extreme athletes explored Arctic mountains and wilderness.
As you visit Tromsø, step into the wheelhouse to learn about polar navigation, hear stories of Arctic exploration, and discover our eco-innovation: kelp-based biofuel made from healthy energy drink production by-products to reduce CO₂ emissions. During the journey, you may spot whales, seals, eagles, or reindeer while enjoying the midnight sun or the magical glow of the Northern Lights tours Tromsø is famous for.
With room for 70 passengers and 24 beds for longer journeys, MS Tromsø is perfect for overnight stays, socializing on the observation deck, and escaping the crowded tourist streams. This is the real Arctic story - where nature, adventure, and history come together.
