Adventure with us on this magical Northern Lights hunt, departing at 9pm this evening cruise from Tromsø in the darkness of Polar Night. This guided cruise aboard the large, comfortable sightseeing catamaran MS Rygerdronningen departs from Tromsø, some 350 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle. During the winter, the sun sets in Tromsø around the 27 November and normally doesn’t rise until 15 January, which creates an amazing dark condition for seeing this once in a lifetime scene. You can look out for the Aurora through the panoramic windows of our warm, cozy cabin and then head out into the crisp Arctic air for a look from our spacious decks for an even clearer view. The Auroras are unforgettable light shows caused by electrically charged particles from the sun colliding with gases in the Earth’s atmosphere. They are best seen near the Earth’s North and South Poles. They can be many colors, although green is the most common.
Even with all the science we have today, the Northern Lights still carry an aura of mystery and enchantment. For centuries, people have looked to the sky and created stories to explain these dancing colours. The ancient Vikings, for example, believed the shimmering waves were reflections from the shining shields and armour of the Valkyrie — fierce female warriors guiding fallen heroes to Valhalla. It’s a reminder that the Aurora has always inspired wonder, magic, and imagination. Northern Lights Guarantee Our experienced crew will do everything possible to guide you into the best conditions for witnessing the Aurora Borealis. However, as the Northern Lights are a natural and unpredictable phenomenon, sightings can never be guaranteed. If the lights do not appear during your tour, we offer a complimentary ticket for the next available Northern Lights safari on our boat. This ticket can be used once and allows you another chance to chase the magic of the Arctic sky.
Your Vessel: MS Rygerdronningen The MS Rygerdronningen is an ideal vessel for Northern Lights hunting. Spacious and comfortable, it offers generous outdoor viewing decks as well as warm, cosy indoor lounges — perfect for enjoying the journey no matter the weather. Onboard, you’ll also find a kiosk where you can purchase light meals, snacks, and a selection of hot and cold drinks to keep you comfortable throughout the evening. Embark with us for a memorable night at sea, where nature, history, and a touch of Scandinavian legend come together beneath the Arctic sky.
