Board a sleek 32-meter sailing yacht in Tromsø harbor where only 12 guests share the decks, turning the aurora hunt into an intimate escape rather than a crowded chase.
Your captain navigates quiet fjords away from city lights, positioning Stella Oceana for the best sky views while you sip hot chocolate wrapped in blankets.
Slip into the private outdoor hot tub—your group gets exclusive 30-45 minute slots—bubbles steaming as greens and purples hopefully ripple overhead. Inside the spacious saloon feels like a floating living room with games, books, and warm lighting. Savor hearty reindeer stew (or vegetarian alternative) with bread and cookies, plus endless coffee and tea.
This 4-hour luxury cruise meets directly at the white yacht docked north of Scandic Ishavshotel.
Real talk: aurora sightings depend on clear skies and activity—luck plays a part.
Spots limited to 12, book early for peak season.
Here's practical advice to help your cruise go well, based on common experiences with weather, aurora, and comfort. We've pulled this from what past guests told us after their trips.
Common issues. Not wheelchair accessible—steps to decks and tub. Guests found tub ladders sturdy with help. No alcohol allowed—focus stays on lights. Weather runs the tour; captain adjusts route for comfort.
No guarantees, but small yacht mobility and expert captain maximize chances by fleeing clouds. Past guests saw displays on 70-80% of clear/active nights—hot tub views unforgettable when it happens.
Water stays steaming hot; air bites on deck but feels exhilarating. Guests said quick towel dashes kept it thrilling—thermal suits available for extra warmth pre/post.
Yes, vegetarian stew alternative on advance request. Notify dietary needs when booking. Vegetarians found it hearty and flavorful alongside bread and cookies.
Yes for children comfortable on boats and in cold (supervise near tub). Families said older kids loved aurora hunting and saloon games, but bundle young ones extra.
Captain prioritizes calm fjords—yacht stable but some wave motion possible. Tour runs unless extreme; rare cancellations offer reschedule/refund. Guests in wind still enjoyed indoor warmth.
Only 12 guests, private hot tub slots, luxury saloon, and included stew set it apart. Past guests said the intimate yacht feel and personalized routing beat larger boat crowds.
