Winter Whale Safari – Tromsø Arctic Cruise
Tromsø, known as the “Gateway to the Arctic,” is the perfect starting point for a winter whale adventure. From here, our guests board Alba — a spacious Westamaran catamaran designed for comfort on long Arctic journeys. With heated lounges, panoramic windows, and open deck viewing areas, Alba combines speed, safety, and passenger comfort, making it ideal for exploring the northern fjords.
Each winter, humpback whales and orcas follow the great herring migration into these waters. The journey north from Tromsø takes guests through dramatic fjords framed by snow-covered peaks, where whales are often seen surfacing, feeding, and socialising in the low Arctic winter light.
