Tromsø, Norway, is a popular destination for adventure cruises due to its proximity to the Arctic Circle and the stunning natural beauty of the surrounding area. Visitors can experience the stunning Northern Lights, go dog sledding on a glacier, or take a boat tour to see the local wildlife, such as whales, seals, and sea eagles. Tromsø is also known as the gateway to the Arctic, and adventure cruises often include excursions to remote islands and fjords, where passengers can hike on glaciers, fish for king crab, or even take a dip in the Arctic waters.

Cruises visiting Tromsø in the winter months will give you the opportunity to witness the northern lights, also known as Aurora Borealis, which is a natural light display in the Earth's sky, predominantly seen in the high-latitude regions. The best time to see the northern lights is between October and March, when the nights are the longest and the sky is at its darkest. Adventure cruises that visit Tromsø in the summer months offer other activities such as hiking, fishing, and kayaking. The Midnight Sun, the phenomenon of the sun remaining visible at midnight, is visible from the end of May to the end of July. This creates an otherworldly atmosphere and a great opportunity for outdoor activities that can only be done during these months.
