Blue Light Cruise in Tromsø
10th of October–21st of January
From around 21 November to 21 January, Tromsø lies in near-total darkness. Around midday, the sky, mountains and fjords glow in intense shades of blue. We call it the blue light season, and this cruise is timed for the hours when that light is at its strongest.
Our route goes around the island of Tromsøya, though we may head to other scenic spots if the weather calls for it. Now and then we spot porpoises, white-beaked dolphins, seals, eagles and other seabirds. During the darkest period you may also be lucky enough to see early Northern Lights. Curious about the city or the area? Just ask the crew.
Hot drinks and homemade cakes are served on board. Our Norwegian skippers and local crew have many years of experience at sea. We were early pioneers of winter tourism in Tromsø and have run trips aboard our cosy catamaran MB Havcruise every winter since 2006. During the winter months we live on board ourselves. Our motto: quality over quantity.
Safety comes first. The boat and equipment are inspected every year at an authorised shipyard, and all passengers are well insured on board.
