Spend three days aboard MS Tromsø in the middle of Tromsø city centre, with bed and breakfast and a free northern lights cruise included.
Your package includes 3 days of bed and breakfast aboard Northern Norway’s arctic explorer vessel, plus a free northern lights cruise. Our vessel has 4 decks with a retro bar restaurant and an outdoor deck where you can watch the northern lights, when they are there, in the comfort of a ship.
MS Tromsø is more than a boat — it’s a floating history. The ship has hosted grand adventures, international TV series, expeditions, and countless stories of Arctic exploration. Today, it combines tradition with comfort, featuring its own retro restaurant, bar, and kitchen, as well as an inviting observation deck where you can relax with a drink and enjoy panoramic views.
Find real life and no luxury, with only compact small cabins with toilet & shower out in the corridor. The local experience outside the tourist tracks.
Your stay includes a northern lights cruise at no extra cost. We sail cruises almost every day and stay in dock every morning, late evening and night, so you can come and go 24/7 and use your cabin at any time.
Evening cruises usually run from 6 PM to 9 PM, out into the dark fjords around Tromsø. The northern lights depend on weather and solar activity, so they can never be guaranteed.
During the cruise, you’ll hear fascinating stories about polar navigation, Arctic history, and even modern innovations like the kelp-based biofuel we produce to fuel this vessel. You’re welcome to visit the wheelhouse, talk with the captain and crew and learn about life at sea.
With space for 70 passengers and 28 beds for longer journeys, MS Tromsø offers a warm and social atmosphere, far removed from the usual tourist trails. Join locals and fellow travelers in experiencing the real story of Tromsø — by sea, just like the explorers of the past.
Close to Tromsø’s main entertainment square, the Hurtigruten dock, the bus terminal and the express boat station, you find us quietly in a corner of the city centre.

A truly memorable and unique stay in Tromsø! A uniquely different accommodation experience from my usual stays, but one that I absolutely loved! This floating hotel has such a homely, warm and welcoming feel. Everything was clean and comfortable, with hot drinks available throughout the day – a lovely little touch that made it feel even more special. I also had the privilege of joining the Northern Lights cruise and OMG… the crew did not disappoint! An absolutely incredible experience and a real highlight of my trip. The location is ideal, right in the heart of Tromsø, making it so easy to explore the town and get around on foot. If you’re travelling solo, I would highly recommend this floating hotel. It’s welcoming, comfortable and has a lovely atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. A huge thank you to Mads, the entire crew and all the staff for their warmth, hospitality and for helping make my Tromsø trip so memorable.
What an experience!! It was exactly as I expected it to be. The girls working there were really nice and gave a few advices about the city. Breakfast was good and essential but it was also a nice moment to gather with other people and share a nice conversation over good coffee! The bed was very comfortable, just be prepared to be at least a little agile to get on it. Loved every moment I spent on the boat!
Ship with history, captain is a legend. Crew was great. Docked in the central area of Tromso. Breakfast was at 8:30. Went with the crew King Crab fishing and Norther Lights fjord tour it was a good experience.
Great experience it’s not everyday you get to spend a night on a boat in the Arctic Circle! Very warm at night despite snow and ice outside. Cozy and comfortable. Perfect location by the town centre and a short walk across the bridge to the Arctic Cathedral and cable car
