1.Tromsø: Aurora Dinner Cruise by Hybrid-Electric Catamaran

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 727 reviews · 3 hours · from $198 per person Our pick

Join Brim Explorer for a three-hour evening cruise around Tromsø Island aboard a quiet hybrid-electric catamaran. You’ll enjoy a three-course Arctic meal, heated panoramic saloons, local stories, and deck time beneath the night sky. Guides such as Cristina and Dominica have helped make aurora sightings and photo stops especially memorable.

“Every thing was perfect! The boat itself was very nice, the food was delicious, the staff very warm and welcoming, and the speaker had a wonderful sense of humour, she was terrific! But the best part was that we really got to see the Northern lights. The activity that night was very strong and it was magnificent, magical even. I really hope to have the chance to do it again and I strongly recommend this experience!”
