Review of Brim Explorer’s Tromsø whale tour, with hybrid-electric sailing, Arctic scenery, practical tips, costs, comfort, and whale-sighting odds.
“Fantastic day - the guides were great giving you lots of information along the way but not too much. Free refill of tea and coffee was much appreciated especially after watching the Orkas that we were lucky enough to see. Warm cabin although I thinking you were sitting at the back it would have been a bit chilly. Plenty of time to watch the whales.”
Cruise Tromsø’s fjords aboard the cozy Capella, fish in Ramfjord, spot eagles and dolphins, and warm up with soup and hot drinks.
“Beautiful views and we got to try our hand at fishing. We also got the chance to see a white tailed eagle. The guides were really great and the food was delicious. I had the vegetarian and my friend had the fish soup.”
Cruise from Bergen through Osterfjord to Mostraumen, with steep cliffs, waterfalls, changing weather, and a warm cabin for $81.
“The mini cruise was superb - and I don´t even like boats. It was a fabulous way to see the scenery through the fjord and the crew were really friendly and welcoming. As the trip had been planned as part of my 60th birthday trip it was fantastic to be made to feel so special”

Cruise Tromsø’s Arctic fjords in a warm catamaran, learn about the aurora, and keep a free second chance if clouds hide the lights.
“Unfortunately we did not see the northern lights on the night we went out. However due to the second chance guarantee we were able to go again. We had the confirmation that we could go out again within 5 minutes of returning. We went out the next night and saw the lights. The guides are so friendly and knowledgeable and are happy to answer any questions. The trip offers free tea and coffee and has other drinks and snacks for purchase. This boat option was so much better for us than a mini bus as there was so much space, you could move around easily and rest rooms. We would…”
