Witness the glow of the midnight sun in the night’s sky with Polar Adventures. Book the 3-hour midnight cruise and watch stunning landscapes at night.
Ever thought you’d catch a glimpse of the sun at midnight? It is possible in Norway! The ‘midnight sun’ phenomenon happens in the arctic region in summer, when the sun never really sets but hovers a little lower in the sky. Experience the beauty of this natural phenomenon on board a cruise!
On the day of the midnight cruise by Polar Adventures, participnats need to be at the meeting point at least 20 minutes before depature. As the boat leaves the harbour, you can settle down either on the boat’s deck or in the heated indoor lounge. Keep yourself comfortable with warm drinks and delicious local snacks throughout your time onboard. Sometime during midnight, you will see beautiful streaks of yellow and orange across the fjords and watch the silhouettes of mountains and trees. At times, you will also be able to see the sun. However, there is no guarantee that you will see it.
Bear in mind that you can get a suntan even at night, so slather some sunscreen during your time onboard! Apart from the golden hues of the sun, you can even spot arctic birds like eider ducks, sea eagles, and guillemots during your cruise. The fjord ride ends by 1:00 am when the boat reaches the Tromsø harbour.
