“We loved the sustainability emphasis while on our Aurora dinner cruise! The hybrid-electric catamaran was so nice and quiet. Our meal was awesome and thoughtfully prepared. Our guides on the boat taught us interesting facts throughout the night, and our captain made sure we had a perfect opportunity to step outside to see an INCREDIBLE dancing northern lights show when the clouds cleared! We’ll never forget this experience and loved how convenient it was to embark and return! Thank you!!”
3-hour Oslofjord dinner cruise from Akershusstranda with shrimp meal, blankets, and wide-open views on a wooden sailboat.
“Unforgettable Views, Disappointing "Seafood" Dinner Our recent cruise was truly an unforgettable experience, largely due to the absolutely stunning views we encountered throughout the journey. The scenery was breathtaking, and we captured some incredible photos that we'll cherish. However, the dining experience, particularly the highly anticipated seafood dinner, left us quite disappointed. We specifically chose this cruise with the expectation of a diverse seafood dinner, envisioning at least two or more different types of seafood. Unfortunately, what we received was essentially a "shrimp dinner." While the shrimp itself was fine, it was a significant letdown given our expectations and what...”

“Honestly a breath taking night, the food, the sunset, the staff! Could not recommend more!”
Electric boat aurora cruise in Tromsø with a 3-course dinner, welcome drink, and a cozy indoor saloon plus outdoor viewing deck.
“The cruise was not what I was expecting, we didn’t see the northern lights nor did we sail out far enough to be able to see them. The cruise was smooth ride, the welcome onboard champagne was good. However, would be a better experience, if the champagne or welcome drinks were either unlimited for more than one. The food was great, and the service from the staff was friendly. Francesca, was very sweet and nice.”

Thank you very much for the wonderful experience!”
Tromsø northern lights cruise on the Stella Oceana yacht for up to 12, with a hot tub, reindeer stew dinner, and fjord views.
“Captain Kenneth and his First Mate (his lovely wife) put on a 1st Class Experience on their luxury yacht. This was hands down our favorite experience in Tromsø. Being out on the water, seeing the northern lights dance from a hot tub on board, it was simply amazing. We also liked that it was more intimate with not too many people. Cozy cabin below to keep warm. Yummy dinner of reindeer stew!”
