★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 727 reviews · 3 hours · from $198Our pick

Review of Tromsø’s Aurora Dinner Cruise, with Arctic scenery, Nordic seafood, a quiet hybrid catamaran, and practical booking tips.

“Every thing was perfect! The boat itself was very nice, the food was delicious, the staff very warm and welcoming, and the speaker had a wonderful sense of humour, she was terrific! But the best part was that we really got to see the Northern lights. The activity that night was very strong and it was magnificent, magical even. I really hope to have the chance to do it again and I strongly recommend this experience!”

Review of Tromsø’s luxury Polar Fjord yacht cruise, with Arctic scenery, reindeer soup, wildlife, hot tub upgrades, and practical booking tips.

“On the day of the scheduled tour, we attempted multiple times to contact World Sea Explorers without success. We messaged the company, made numerous phone calls, and even enlisted local hotels to help us reach them—yet received absolutely no response.
