What's included in the cruise?

The 3-hour fjord cruise, access to all deck areas (bow net, flybridge, panoramic saloon), complimentary hot coffee/tea upon arrival, and warm soup served during the tour.

How many passengers are on a typical sailing?

The Arctic Princess is designed for small-group cruising, though exact group size varies by departure. Contact the supplier for specific passenger limits.

Can I photograph from the boat, and where are the best spots?

Photography is encouraged. The open bow net offers the most immersive perspectives, the flybridge provides elevated vantage points, and the panoramic saloon works well in poor weather. Bring a waterproof bag or case for camera protection on deck.

Layer with warm clothing, bring a waterproof or windproof jacket, and wear non-slip footwear. Even in summer, Arctic wind and sea spray can be cold and wet.

When do sailings operate, and is there a minimum group size?

Operating season and frequency depend on daylight and weather. Contact the supplier for a current schedule; summer typically sees daily or near-daily departures, while winter sailings are less frequent.

Is this suitable for children or first-time sailors?

Yes—the calm, sheltered waters of Tromsø fjords and the boat's luxury comfort (heating, sheltered spaces, food service) make it family-friendly. Supervise young children on open decks due to water access.

Insider tips

★Arrive early to claim a spot on the open bow net—the unobstructed views and fresh air are unbeatable for photos, especially in golden-hour conditions.
★Layer your clothing: even in summer, Arctic wind off the water demands a waterproof outer layer and warm mid-layer.
★The panoramic saloon is ideal if weather turns; it's heated and offers floor-to-ceiling views without stepping outside.
★Ask the skipper about wildlife sightings and island history—local knowledge often reveals details missed by guidebooks.

our captain Giulia was brilliant and jumping off the back into clear water was the highlight, and worked great for a solo traveller like me, and got loads of photos.

our captain Joseph really knew their stuff and the little blue cave stop was the highlight. Mid-week so it was quiet so it wasnt too busy. Miles ahead of a similar boat trip we tried in cape town, and stopped at 3 different bays. Would book again no question, tbh
