Tromso: Northern Lights Yacht Cruise with Hot Tub & Dinner
About This Experience
Discover the beauty of the Arctic night on a four-hour Northern Lights cruise from Tromsø aboard Stella Oceana, a spacious 34-meter expedition sailing yacht …
Who It Suits and What to Know
World Sea Explorers sails four hours into the fjords around Tromsø on Stella Oceana, a 34-metre expedition sailing yacht that takes a maximum of 12 guests; each booking group gets 30 to 45 minutes of private hot-tub time, and dinner is reindeer stew, rated 4.8 from 137 reviews. It is the most expensive way to spend an evening under the sky here, and the most comfortable.
Who it suits: couples and small groups who want a special evening on a night with a clear forecast. Who should look elsewhere: anyone who wants the best chance of seeing the lights on a cloudy night, which a road chase gives you, and wheelchair users, who are not accepted.
What to know before you book:
- Departure: World Sea Explorers gives check-in at 18:45, departure at 19:00 from Sjøgata 35 and a return about 23:00; the season runs from September to March.

- Rules: the cruise is alcohol-free, shoes come off inside, and it needs at least six guests to sail.
The price is from $345 a person (checked October 2026), with free cancellation up to 24 hours before. Cruise or chase sets it beside the cheaper cruises.
