★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 727 reviews · 3 hours · from $198

Join Brim Explorer for a three-hour evening cruise from Tromsø, dining on a seafood-based New Nordic menu as the catamaran circles the island. Heated cabins, 360-degree windows, local guides, and outdoor aurora viewing make this a comfortable option, though clear skies are never guaranteed.

“We saw the northern lights that night. The food was good but the table was too small for our group of 6 people. I think someone should ask us whether we would like to separate or not. We required upstairs but a staff said we were too big group for the table upstairs. Join with the cruise should not too many people I guess.”
