Cruise Fjord & Whale Adventure
Comfortable whale watching with panoramic views and warm shelter
Watch in wonder as massive humpback whales and intelligent orcas glide through crystal-clear Arctic fjords from the warmth and comfort of your traditional vessel. Large viewing windows and spacious decks provide perfect vantage points for observing these gentle giants in Norway's pristine winter waters.
Settle into comfortable seating as your experienced captain skillfully navigates between snow-capped peaks toward rich herring feeding grounds. The stable platform allows for excellent photography opportunities while your guide shares fascinating insights about whale behavior and migration patterns. When whales surface nearby, multiple viewing areas ensure everyone gets spectacular sightings.
Enjoy the relaxed pace that allows for deeper appreciation of both marine life and stunning fjord scenery. Warm beverages keep you cozy while scanning for whale spouts against dramatic mountain backdrops. The enclosed comfort means you can focus entirely on the magical moments when these ocean giants breach or spy-hop, creating unforgettable memories without worrying about weather conditions. Perfect for all ages and mobility levels.
We will keep a safe distance to minimize the disturbance to the whales. The whales are just as curious about visitors as we are about them, so they will most likely come and swim around our boat.
Please note that while we try our best, we can not guarantee that we will actually see whales on the trip. The season start and end date can be adjusted according to whale migration patterns.
