Boat Trip in Tromsø with Hot Drinks & Photos

About the Activity

What to Expect

Capture the breathtaking beauty of Tromsø's Arctic landscapes on a scenic 1-hour photo cruise aboard the historic Hermes II. As you glide through the serene Tromsø Sound, marvel at the snow-covered, majestic mountains that tower over the clean, Arctic waters. The occasional seagull follows the boat, drawn by the vessel’s storied past as a fishing boat and the distinct sound of its Cummins 335 engine. These sights and sounds create a unique atmosphere that perfectly blends history with nature's splendour.

Aboard the Hermes II, you will discover its rich history and unique features. Originally built as a fishing boat, its transformation into a cruise vessel offers a glimpse into the past while providing modern comforts. The boat's design and the crew’s stories bring to life the tales of the Arctic seas, making your journey both educational and enthralling. As you drift along the scenic route, take in the vastness of the Arctic landscapes around you - a truly unforgettable experience.

Ideal for families, this cruise offers a perfect blend of tranquillity and adventure. Whether you are a photography enthusiast or simply looking to unwind in the natural beauty of the Arctic, the Hermes II provides an unparalleled opportunity to experience Tromsø's picturesque surroundings from a unique perspective.
