TOP 5 MUST-DO’S IN TROMSØ
Watch the Northern Lights
Tromsø lies directly beneath the Aurora Oval, making it one of the world’s best places to see the Northern Lights. Join a guided tour to a remote basecamp for the best viewing conditions — or simply gaze skyward from the ship’s deck as ribbons of green and violet light dance across the Arctic night.
Ride the Fjellheisen Cable Car
For breathtaking panoramic views, take the Fjellheisen Cable Car to the summit of Mount Storsteinen. From here, you can see the city, surrounding fjords, and distant islands bathed in ethereal winter light.
Dog-Sledding & Arctic Adventures
Meet the huskies and feel the thrill of mushing across frozen landscapes. If snow is scarce, wheeled sleds are used instead — ensuring every guest can experience this timeless Arctic tradition.
Visit the Arctic Cathedral
The striking Arctic Cathedral, with its angular design and dazzling stained glass, is one of Norway’s most iconic landmarks. Inside, its calm beauty perfectly reflects the tranquillity of the far north.
Explore the Polar Museum
Discover Tromsø’s proud heritage as a base for polar expeditions. The museum tells the stories of legendary explorers like Roald Amundsen and Fridtjof Nansen, whose courage shaped Arctic history.
