Arctic whale tours from Tromsø

Each winter, the fjords around Tromsø become a gathering place for some of the Arctic’s most impressive wildlife. Large shoals of herring move into the area, attracting humpback whales and killer whales (orcas) as they hunt and feed in the cold northern waters.

Join aboard Alba, a classic and comfortable catamaran, for a journey through the spectacular Arctic fjords. Leaving Tromsø behind, you’ll cruise past snow-covered mountains and dramatic coastal scenery, surrounded by the soft blue and pink light of the polar winter.

Experience whale watching in Tromsø in its natural setting — a full-day adventure combining incredible wildlife, Arctic landscapes, and the unique atmosphere of Northern Norway.
