Northern Lights Chase

Be awed by the Northern Lights on this spectacular boat tour from Tromsø

Leaving the city lights behind is key to getting the best out of the Northern Lights’ magnificent show. On this adventure tour aboard our spacious and comfortable catamaran, MS Rygerdronningen, we speed away from the main city in Norway’s arctic and into the magical darkness of Polar Night for an Aurora Borealis light show. 

Tromsø – one of the world’s best places to see the Northern Lights 

Tromsø is perfect for chasing this fascinating natural phenomenon. In part, that is because the Arctic city is in the middle of the Aurora Borealis oval that surrounds the Earth. It is also slightly warmer than other Arctic cities. The months of October through March are the best times for spotting the lights in Norway. Tromsø’s ideal location increases the odds of a Northern Lights display even during periods of low Aurora Borealis activity.
