Cruise from Bergen through Osterfjord to Mostraumen, with waterfalls, steep cliffs, calm water, cozy seating, and wide mountain views.
“Fjord cruise was amazing a real bucket list activity. Middle of winter freezing cold and unforgettable. The boat was warm and cosy. The fjord cold and beautiful- didn’t want to leave”
Cruise silently from Svolvær to Trollfjord aboard a hybrid-electric boat, with eagle watching, fjord scenery, guides, and underwater views.
“It was a great tour with a bit of everything: spectacular landscapes, sea eagles, and a fantastic narrator. The troll fjord was even more beautiful than its southern brothers. It is trully a magical place. The only setback was the fog that wouldn’t let us see through and admire the fjord properly but we kind of expected that given the time of the year. Luckily enough, the fjord is small enough and the boat bring you close enough. Also, thanks to the fog, you get a bewitching kind of vibe in exchange.”

Cruise Tromsø’s Arctic waters in search of the Northern Lights, with warm drinks, thermal suits, helpful guides, and indoor comfort.
“Comfortable boat and entertaining crew. we went out on a night-time fjord cruise, with complementary hot drinks and cookies on board. We were shown how to rod fish, and I caught my first ever fish- an Atlantic cod! The chef on board even prepared it for us and some of the other guests to have a taste. Unfortunately the 'green lady' did not smile on us, as it was quite a cloudy night, but this was well worth going on anyway. 5*”
Cruise Tromsø’s Arctic fjords on a warm, sustainable catamaran with sea eagle sightings, mountain views, local stories, and photography tips.
“This was a lovely activity to do on our trip and I’d definitely recommend. The tour guides were lovely and gave us so much information about Norway and the Fjords, the boat was really nice however unfortunately other tourists can be selfish and take up seats with their bags even when they aren’t sitting there which means we were on deck most of the time as it was the only place we could sit. However, we didn’t mind as the views were so beautiful even with the snow storms. The boat took us around the fjords and told us about wildlife we could spot, on this trip we spotted a…”
Review of Oslo's quiet electric fjord cruise, with scenic stops, warm cabins, live guiding, onboard snacks, and practical booking advice.
“Great guiding from Suzy during the whole trip, she walked us thru the history of the fjords and the surroundings”
Cruise from Stavanger into Lysefjord for close views of Pulpit Rock, waterfalls, mountain cliffs, local legends, and excellent value.
“This trip was outstanding value for money, about half the price compared to booking directly with P&O. The boat itself was fantastic, warm, comfortable, and equipped with excellent facilities. It travelled at a good speed, which made the journey even more exciting. There were plenty of opportunities to enjoy the scenery, whether standing at the back of the boat or up on the top deck for panoramic views. Once we entered the fjord, the captain brought us up close to the waterfalls, allowing everyone to take incredible photos and fully appreciate the breath-taking landscape. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Stavanger!”
Review of Tromsø’s Northern Lights catamaran cruise, with warm seating, fjord views, expert guides, free drinks, and a second chance.
“if the weather is nice and you have young family or older family members who can't travel the safari way, this is a great way to comfortably see the Nordic lights. yes, the boat won't take you far because of the speed, but the ride is comfortable and the seats are one of the best I have ever sat in. while travelling to the destination, the guides will give you clear presentation on the phenomenon and advise how to take pictures. while you wait in the warmth of the cabin (already dimmed for you to adapt for the night) the guides and crew will be actively keeping an eye for…”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
