Itinerary
On the way to Skjervøy, we pass the mighty Lyngen Alps
We arrive in the Skjervøy area, where whales gather to feed on herring. Here, we search the wide surrounding waters for humpback whales and/or orcas.
We spend about 1–2 hours observing the whales in the vicinity of this area, depending on how quickly we locate them and how long they remain nearby. Whale sightings cannot be guaranteed, but our captains and guides will do their very best to find them.
On the return journey to Tromsø, we sail past the Arctic Cathedral, situated at the end of the Tromsø Bridge.

About Tromsø
Tromsø is a Norwegian city well inside the Arctic Circle, on an island among fjords and peaks, known for the northern lights and the midnight sun.
Tromsø stands on an island in northern Norway, linked to the mainland by a bridge and a tunnel, with jagged peaks rising across the sound. Founded in the eighteenth century, it grew as a base for Arctic hunters and explorers, and the Polar Museum recalls expeditions that set out from the harbour. The Arctic Cathedral, with its angled glass front, stands across the bridge, and wooden houses fill the old centre.
Top-ranked sights in Tromsø: Tromso Fjords, Kvaloya (Sállir), Sommaroy.
