Aurora Cruise in Tromsø – Discover the Arctic Magic
If you’re dreaming of witnessing the Northern Lights in one of the most unique ways possible, an aurora cruise in Tromsø with Polar Adventures is the perfect Arctic experience. Sailing under the night sky, surrounded by dramatic fjords and icy waters, you’ll have the chance to see the elusive aurora borealis dance across the horizon—away from the city lights and in complete comfort.
Why go on an Aurora Cruise in Tromsø?
Tromsø is known as one of the world’s top destinations for spotting the Northern Lights. But while many choose to chase the aurora by land, taking to the water offers an entirely different—and deeply memorable—perspective. At Polar Adventures, we offer guided aurora cruises that combine expert planning with scenic tranquility, giving you front-row seats to nature’s most dazzling light show.
With years of experience in Arctic tourism, our dedicated crew and guides ensure a safe, cozy, and unforgettable journey every time.
Northern Lights Chase by Boat – Cruise into the Arctic Night
Our signature Northern Lights Chase by Boat is a 3.5-hour evening tour that departs from the Tromsø city center. Aboard the comfortable and well-equipped boat Capella, you’ll set off into the Arctic darkness in search of the best locations to view the aurora.
What to expect on board:
- A heated indoor lounge and outdoor viewing deck
- Unlimited hot drinks and cookies
- Self-service refreshments, including coffee, tea, and water

Although sightings of the Northern Lights are not guaranteed, we offer a 50% discount on a second booking if you don’t spot them on your first trip. Our experienced crew will do everything possible to guide you to clear skies and maximize your chances.

Svalbard Sailing Cruise – Aurora Views in the High Arctic
Another unforgettable journey is our Svalbard Sailing Cruise, offering 8- to 16-day routes through one of the world’s most remote and pristine environments. With a small group of only 8–12 people on board, this exclusive experience lets you explore Svalbard’s untamed nature and incredible wildlife, including the chance to see polar bears, reindeer, seals, and bird-covered cliffs.
The tour is fully guided by experienced sailors who will take you to the best and most scenic areas of the archipelago. Full board is included, and if conditions are right, you may witness the Northern Lights above the high Arctic seas.
Prices vary depending on duration and route. It’s a rare opportunity to experience the magic of the Arctic from the deck of a sailing ship, far from the crowds.
