  • Pioneer524280 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Lovely dinner cruise! We booked an evening dinner cruise with this company on a whim after not seeing the Northern Lights on our first mini-van tour. It was a lovely evening with great atmosphere, delicious, simple food, and a friendly captain. Very pleasant waiting for the lights within the warm and cozy cabin. Bathrooms were very clean. We went north of Tromso and anchored in place for an hour or so, searching for the lights. We got a brief glimpse and then were lucky enough to see a real show right as we arrived back in the harbor in Tromso. Of course too dark to admire any of the fjords so next time we would book a daytime fjord cruise also! Read more Written February 15, 2024

  • Jeremy O 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Great food and spectacular display of lights in Tromso fjord This is a short trip compared to catching one of the bus tours, we left at 8:30 and were back just after 11:30. The boat takes a pleasant cruise to a position off the north point of Tromso island while the guests are treated to a delicious freshly caught cod and halibut. There is a vegetarian option as well so don’t be afraid (like I was) to own up to being the vegetarian who booked onto a fish dinner cruise! The fish is served with fabulous “new” potatoes that also went well with my vegetarian ratatouille. The end effect is that everyone has a full belly and reserves of core body heat before going out out to look for lights. Nonetheless after roughly half an hour we were all warming up inside the cabin with coffee and tea when the captain called us out as the lights display was starting. The displays were as good as we had seen the previous night on a bus tour, stretching from one side of the boat to the other across the fjord. The only disadvantage to seeing the lights from a boat is that serious photography is out of the question but you can still get decent photos on latest model smartphones. Everyone headed back in to warm up happy to have seen the lights, then the icing on the cake was on the way back when the captain a topped the boat and called us out again when a corona was forming. What followed was a spectacular display of light right over the boat. We could not have asked for more. Such a great evening. Read more Written April 2, 2023
  • Sandtravlr 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Great Evening Meal and Seeing the Lights We had a beautiful clear night for our tour. Dinner of fresh halibut, caught earlier in the day, potatoes and onions was served early in the 2030 departure time. It was the best meal we had in Tromso. When we got to where several boats were hoping to see the lights, all the other boats left after about 45 minutes of waiting. The captain said he thought there was a good chance to see the lights and sure enough about 30 minutes after all the other boats departed the lights appeared for about a one hour show. It was a very nice tour and we really enjoyed interaction with the captain. There were just 6 of us on the boat making for a pleasant time. Read more Written March 11, 2023
  • AnikaY 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Entertainment and food Fun experience catching cod and coalfish/pollack! The cabin was clean and comfortable. We had great company, some instruction to catch the fish, and a great chef to cook the freshly caught fish. Since there were some who were fishing for the first time, a bit more instruction could have been helpful. There is no restaurant that can beat this experience for eating skrei. A delicious ending to a fun morning! Read more Written February 10, 2023

Search for the northern lights

Set off on an adventure into the total darkness of the Arctic fjords and Polar nights. We depart Tromsø and set sail for the direction where the clearest weather conditions for the night has been predicted. This can be north towards the areas of Kvaløyvågen or south to Ramfjorden or west along the southern part of Kvaløya island. The captain and crew will work together and keep their eyes out for clear skies or a gap in the cloud layer. While we wait for the northern lights to appear, you can stay warm and comfortable in our heated lounges. Grab a beverage from our cafe and a snack.

Northern Lights in Tromsø with Brim Explorer

Our guides will share stories & knowledge

Throughout the evening our guides will share their knowledge and personal stories of the Northern Lights. From mythical stories from around the world to the scientific explanation of the Northern Lights. When we get lucky to spot the Northern Lights, we can put on our warm clothes and go outside to admire lady Aurora in the night sky. Some nights she shines bright in the sky and dances with different colours, while on other nights she's a bit shy and is only faintly visible or not visible at all. Our guides can help you take pictures during the tour.

On the way back, you get a fantastic view of the Arctic city of Tromsø and it's skyline and the famous Arctic Cathedral visible from the water.

Warm indoor saloons

Adult (17+), youth (12 - 16), child (3 - 11), infant (0 - 2), frequently asked questions, do you see the northern light on every boat tour.

The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon that we sadly can't guarantee. It depends on the Northern Lights activity and cloud coverage in the region of Tromsø, something that is entirely in the hands of mother nature. We can see the Northern Lights on our Aurora Dinner Cruise, however, seeing the Northern Lights can be anything between a faint line in the sky to a big dancing show and that's something that is hard to say even if we have completely clear skies. We invest in making the trip as comfortable for you with our spacious and warm saloons where you can enjoy your dinner and our guides will share stories and local knowledge with you. Please understand that we are therefore not able to provide a refund if we do not see the northern lights.

What is the best time to see the Northern Lights?

In order to see the Northern Lights, you need 3 things:

  • It needs to be (semi) dark outside,
  • It has to be (partially) clear sky,
  • There need to be Northern Lights activity.

While number 2 and 3 are very difficult (if not impossible) to predict accurately, number 1 is a little easier to answer. Since Tromsø has the midnight sun, it is impossible to see the Northern Lights between mid-April and late August. Between late August and early April it is dark enough at night to see the Northern Lights. In the first and last few weeks of this period, the nights are shorter so the chances are a little lower to see the Northern Lights.

Other than that, we believe that no particular month is better to see the Northern Lights than another. There are some other things to consider: September and October are usually without snow and less cold, while between mid-November and mid-January we have polar night and it is dark earliest. February and March often have more snow. What is more important and has a bigger impact on your chances of seeing the Northern Lights is how long you are staying in Tromsø.

Is there a minimum number of participants for the tour?

Yes, we have a minimum of 8 guests for our tours. We always strive to do a tour on every day within the season, but sometimes there are too few people booked. In these cases, it is both financially but also ecologically unsustainable to do a tour with our ship. When this happens we will always offer you to reschedule your tour to another day if possible, or we provide you with a full refund.

Tromsø - Aurora Dinner Cruise

This major cruise line is now serving breakfast for dinner — in a fancy dining room

Gene Sloan

Editor's Note

Apparently, I'm not the only cruiser who doesn't always have the stamina for the drawn-out ship dinners in main dining rooms.

That, or Princess Cruises has just made a colossal mistake with its newest vessel.

As I'm seeing this week during an early look at the still-not-quite-finished Sun Princess, the line has reserved the top level of the ship's elegant three-deck-high main dining room for passengers looking for a quicker sit-down meal than is typical in a main dining room.

For more cruise news, guides and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

It's also changed up the menu for just this one level, offering a set and simple lineup of the sort of comfort food items you find in a diner: a bacon cheeseburger, fish and chips, chicken wings and fried chicken, to name a few.

Renamed Americana by the line, this top floor of the main dining room also offers a solid array of dinerlike breakfast dishes, including made-to-order omelets, a breakfast burrito and a "diner's hash" made with salt beef or halloumi served with home-style potatoes, fried eggs, roasted bell peppers and griddled onions.

dinner cruise tromso

All of the dishes, including the breakfast items, are available all day.

So, yeah, on Princess, you now can have breakfast for dinner — and in an elegant venue, to boot.

To which I say: Fabulous. Bravo, Princess. Who doesn't love breakfast for dinner? And who doesn't sometimes want a quicker dinner on a cruise ship that isn't just a trip to the ship's buffet?

As I am learning this week, dining at Americana is a much more relaxing alternative to dining at the buffet on Sun Princess — whether it's at breakfast time, lunchtime or dinnertime.

It's early days still for Sun Princess, but the ship's buffet, called The Eatery, has been a madhouse with crowded corridors, slow served-by-staff buffet lines and too few seats — a recipe for frustration. Hopefully, it'll improve as the currently Mediterranean-based ship sails in warmer climates and more passengers move to outside venues and seating areas for meals.

dinner cruise tromso

Note that if you want a traditional main dining room dinner, you'll find that on the two lower levels of the main dining room. The middle level (called Horizons) offers come-anytime-you-want dining with the normal drawn-out service. The lower level (also called Horizons) offers the more traditional fixed-seating dinner format that once was de rigueur at Princess.

Both of those levels offer a classic main dining room menu with such dishes as Norwegian salmon with creamy mashed potatoes, carrots and lemon-caper butter, and grilled New York strip steak with garlic-herb butter and vegetables.

A quick take on the quicker menu

In my one visit to Americana so far, I found the dishes a bit hit or miss. (Again, I'm hoping this will all be worked out in the coming weeks as the ship comes into its own.)

It's hard to mess up a breakfast burrito too badly, for instance, but the chefs at Americana managed to do just that with the one I ordered for a late lunch — breakfast for lunch, after all, is almost as good as breakfast for dinner.

The burrito came out filled with the same uninspired vat-cooked eggs that are in the buffet line at The Eatery, plus a smattering of tofu and black beans. It was billed as "spicy," but there was no spice to it at all. The relatively tasteless salsa that came on the side wasn't much help. Plus, the whole thing was oddly tiny.

dinner cruise tromso

Memo to Princess: Call up the chefs at your lower-priced sister brand Carnival Cruise Line , which has the always reliable Mexican-serving fast food outlet BlueIguana Cantina on ships, to find out how shipboard burritos should be done.

Lest you think I revel in being critical, I'll say that I was delighted with the loaded French fries that I ordered as a side. They came smothered in buffalo sauce and huge chunks of blue cheese.

dinner cruise tromso

The burgers and sticky pork ribs that the family at the table next to me were noshing on looked great, too, as did the made-to-order banana splits. Possibly, I just ordered the wrong thing.

The good news: I have a couple more days left on this trip to give it all a try.
