Sail from Bergen through the Osterfjord to Mostraumen, with Bryggen views and a close-up waterfall pass on a comfortable audio-guided cruise.

“This was definitely one of the highlights of the trip! The scenery was spectacular and I liked the added touch of some tour guide information about particular parts of the cruise. We ended up having to stop down the last fjord because it was frozen but the crew made it very fun as we got to try glacier ice!”

When it was too cold outside, we had the chance to go to one of the tents and have some warm drinks (and also lunch, when the time came). Everything went according to schedule and was a very complete activity overall.”

Chase the Northern Lights from Tromsø with thermal suits, hot drinks, and a pro photographer, plus included photos after the trip.

“absolutely amazing guides, we went by a big bus, we got lucky with the strength of auroras and the guides found a stunning place to see them. The photographer did an amazing job, we got great photos. We also had a bonfire and hot drinks with cookies and talks about northern lights. We saw some lights from the city the previous day, but I would still recommend it to everyone, as the area they srive to is so far from light polution you can see so many stars and a very nice view. 10/10”
