We had an amazing experience exploring the beautiful fjords, and a big part of that was thanks to Captain Luca. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire tour both enjoyable and informative. Captain Luca did a fantastic job guiding us through the stunning fjord landscapes, what an experience. He also gave us some excellent tips about the Northern Lights, including the best conditions for viewing them and how to make the most of the experience. His professionalism, enthusiasm, and local knowledge made the trip truly memorable. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area, and we're especially grateful to Captain Luca for helping make our adventure so special. Thank you, Luca
Our captain was very friendly and knowledgeable. The boat was very comfortable for the 2 of us but would have been crowed with more people. It was a bit misleading to say you went to the fjords. We boated around a large circle outside the harbor. The captain was very accommodating and we were able to fish. My husband and I each caught a cod. Mine was small enough that the captain threw it back into the ocean to live another day! The fish chowder was very tasty and filling. I was expecting to be outside on the deck more, but it was cold and there was no seating on the deck. That left us w being inside the cabin. It was still beautiful, just not as we expected. We booked the boat ride in order to have an outside adventure. We are from a warm climate (Hawaii) and not accustomed to the colder weather so our expectations might not have been realistic! All in all, it was a nice way to spend the afternoon (3 hours) but it seemed pricey for what we got.
The whole experience was great. Per is a local, knows the areas. He has top gear in the yatch so you can fish at night. While we were watching his amazing homemade fish soup, we saw the northern lights. What a memorable night. Seeing the lights from the water is a better experience for the kids than chasing by car for 5 hours.
Wonderful experience. Amazing crew, perfect boat and delicious fish soup served. We went for a whale watching adventure and the captain found the best spots to observe lots of Orcas around the fjord. This was one of out best trips ever. Totally worth it and recommended.
Took this cruise with my wife and 10 month old daughter. Was a laid back cruise on a nice day with a skipper who provided interesting information about the area and history. Had an opportunity to fish while he cooked a delicious lunch and I caught 14 cod in less than 30 minutes by myself! Within a few seconds of dropping the lure I already had a catch each time. So easy I felt that I was somehow cheating or something....
Our guide, Per, was absolutely wonderful on this cruise. We enjoyed every minute and he did his very best to help keep us warm and informed on the sights as well as how the ship operated. The soup he made us was the best fish soup I've had, ever! We enjoyed our sail on the Arctic princess more than we imagined! Thank you, Per, for an unforgettable experience!
Great trip out to the fjords in search of Hvaldimir the beluga. Not only did we have a great time playing with Hvaldimir our captain was super friendly and fun. Boat was really comfortable and we appreciated the climate suits when the wind picked up.
Awesome!!!! Captain Kurt and his brother were excellent. Amazing nature, great history of Tromso and Fjords. Went to island of Sandoya for a hike in mountain, polar plunge, sauna and great lunch. Back on board and off to Skatar lodge.
The Arctic Queen is a beautiful boat. But what's even more stunning is the area! From the boat you'll have an amazing view on Tromsø and it's mountains!
This is a very recommended trip to take if you visit Tromsø. You get to experience the town and the amazing nature from the seaside.
What a trip we had aboard the Artic Queen! We embarked on our cruise on 1 October and were skillfully transported from the harbor in Nordlenagen to Alta harbor. Capt Kurt and his brother and first-mate were gracious hosts and although the seas were choppy, we never felt uneasy due to their excellent seamanship skills. Our trip lasted over 5 hours including a nice hot lunch we enjoyed at our midway point in a protected harbor. Kurt and Pete (sorry if we got the name wrong) regaled us with stories and history of surrounding islands. Thank you both for making our trip a worthwhile and memorable experience.
We were on a Seabourne cruise of the fjords but we wanted to see the local scene close up. We were not disappointed. The cruise was even more special for the fabulous commentary and information provided our skipper Thomas. It turned out to be charming and knowledgeable host and give us the opportunity to learn more about the local lifestyle. Whilst the boat will take up to 10 passengers it seems that quite often this is not the case and we were extremely fortunate as there was only two of us. The boat was excellent, modern and comfortable, however I feel that with 10 passengers it would have been somewhat overcrowded. We highly recommend this experience.
Me and my family had a great day onboard Arctic Queen. The boat was really nice, and skipper was pleasant and very friendly, and gave us a great sightseeing around the fjords of Tromsö. I can really recommend choosing Kurt Larsen and his company Arctic Cruise.
Me and my friends had a great experience around theTromsø island onboard Arctic Queen. The boat was really nice, and captain was pleasant and friendly, and we had a good time both fishing and sightseeing. I recommend it as a short day-trip (3 hours) with not too many people.
Stunning scenery, very friendly and attentive captain ,delicious snack and soup, coffee, water or tea always available, clean and comfortable envionment , fishing as entertainment .Safe and fun trip
A very pleasant and informative tour of the Tromso fjord given by the very personable and accommodating Capt. Kurt Larsen, a local who knows Tromso's history and fun facts. We spent three hours on a luxury yacht well equipped with provisions and warm clothing, enjoying the majestic surrounding scenery and learning about the area from our tour guide, Capt. Kurt. Absolutely take advantage of the tour when in Tromso..
The sun kindly came out as we left Tromso harbour. The scenery was beautiful and the commentary from Kurt was excellent. The boat has every amenity. The fishing was also perfect as was the fish soup Kurt made!
Een echte aanrader ! Dankzij het goede weer konden we plaatsnemen op het bovendek. De kapitein nam zich ruimschoots de tijd om ons zo goed mogelijk in te lichten omtrent ons verblijf in Tromso. Het was een tocht waarvan we nog lang kunnen nagenieten, ook 3 maanden later denken we er nog vaak aan terug. En ook niet te vergeten : de vers gemaakte vissoep was overheerlijk !
Ursprünglich hatten wir eine Wal-Beobachtungstour gebucht. Leider sind die Wale in diesem Jahr aber früher aus der Region weg. Besonders toll fanden wir, dass wir von Fjordcruise früh darüber informiert wurden und uns ein alternatives Angebot gemacht wurde. Da wir auch die Möglichkeit zur Absage hatten, haben wir das als sehr fair und ehrlich empfunden. DAS ist, was Norwegen für uns ausmacht. Nette, ehrliche Menschen und eine tolle Natur. Die von uns in Anspruch genommene Tour durch die Fjorde war einmalig. Über die Natur und die Landschaften brauche ich hier sicher nicht weiter schreiben. Die ist toll! Die Arctic Queen ist eine tolle Yacht mit allen Annehmlichkeiten. Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen, ausgiebig informiert und in die schönsten Ecken von Tromso gefahren. Es gab warme/kalte Getränke, Snacks und auf Wunsch auch eine wärmende Suppe. Die Kommunikation vor und nach der Tour kann ich ebenfalls als ausgezeichnet beschreiben. Wir wurden stets über alles informiert. In einem Satz: Wir können diese Tour jedem empfehlen, der es etwas privater mag als auf den klassischen Tourbooten mit dutzenden Menschen.
Excellent moment passé en famille avec notre Skipper jerome : très dispo et passionnant il a répondu à toutes nos questions et nous a accompagné pendant toute la croisière. Nous avons beaucoup aimé . Merci jerome de nous avons fait partagé votre amour de la Norvège 🇳🇴
