Cruise Tromsø Sound aboard restored 1917 boat Hermes II, with fjord views, local stories, wildlife, thermal suits, fish cake, and hot drinks.
“Simply brilliant! There are plenty of other companies who do fjord cruises but none of them will look after you as well as the Hermes 2 crew and the fact that they are all Norwegian adds to the experience. If you are travelling with children as we were then the 2.5 hour duration is perfect and the fish cake snack from Dragoy and free tea, coffee and hot blackcurrant are much appreciated. They love what they do and this shows, so glad we did this. Oh, and they know where the white tailed eagles are and we saw 2 right next to the boat. ❤️👌”

“A thoroughly enjoyable experience. The boat was well equipped and comfortable. We were provided with hot drinks and snacks. There was a heated indoor seating area with a toilet. There was plenty of opportunity to go outside on the boat to soak up the sea breeze and get a better view of the interesting scenery. We were even able to sit in the helm to enjoy the outside views when it rained. The boat was equipped with plenty of safety features, and we were given a thorough safety briefing before setting off.
