Very good experience - Great experience, our guide was very friendly and informed us perfectly of everything. As we arrived half an hour before the start of the meeting, he invited us to see the museum which is very interesting. On the boat there was coffee, tea and biscuits. Although the night was very covered, the guide was on deck all the time looking for the aurora in the clearings and talking to all the passengers, until finally and almost at the end we got to see it. Thanks for everything, a very good experience.

Must try! Beautiful and worth it - Beautiful experience! Francesca started with a presentation on how northern lights are formed and showed us exactly where we’re going and why. She was so sweet and patient and seemed like a very genuine human being. My husband and I opted for the jacuzzi and that was the best decision we made. Beautiful city lights in the middle of the water on a cruise, in a jacuzzi (just my husband and I) and northern lights above us!

Bathing under the Aurora - Unbeatable for the price. First the short presentation in the museum, then we went up to the ship. The sauna was fine with 40 degrees, but sitting under the aurora borealis in the hot tub had something. Great!!

Best ski holiday ever 😄 - We spent two weeks on the boat with our family and friends in February and March to explore the fjords and do back country skiing. We had a fantastic time. The crew was amazing with Brijard, Lyn, Erling and Trond: incredible food, great navigation, fantastic flexibility for the ski drop off, superbe atmosphère. We felt extremely safe and welcome. We all hope to come again.

Fantastic ski touring week on Stronstad - A fantastic crew for this one week ski touring trip ! Food was fantastic thanks to Erling and Lyn the best chefs ever! The best boat driver with Trond! And the Captain always drove us safe and smooth! What a great week we spent on Stronstad! Cherry on the cake is the sauna and jacuzzi to relax at the end of the day!

Vintage vessel Northern Lights chase with sauna - I liked the vintage vessel and the chit chat with the Captain. Again like the previous day, the tromso weather was not that great but moving forward towards dark, finally got the glimpse of the northern lights. The highlight of the tour was Sauna in that cold night.

Good tour to see the auroras - Because of the bad comments that have written the truth I was afraid to have taken the tour and we went with low expectations. The truth is that cruise ships explain the origin of the auroras at first, and also explain the safety measures. You get on the boat and they give you what they offer is coffee and unlimited you and they put cookies (not a lot but enough). The tour was like 20 people and we were fine. While we were waiting for the aurora you were inside the boat that was heated and you were leaving and there was a little snow outside the boat but nothing to worry about. Now we have gone with a 12-year-old girl and there were no inconveniences. Then we were talking to the guide and the captain very good people and had a lovely chat. In the end we could see the auroras on a cloudy day because they have the equipment to guide themselves.

Avoid this trip at all cost - Complete waste of money; nothing like the description! You only have access to two tiny rooms on the boat, the rest is off limits. Staff ignored everyone on the trip, they disappeared into their own part of the boat for most of it. A bowl of digestive biscuits was dumped on each table. We spent most of the 3.5 hours in the downstairs "bar" where noone was serving as there weren't enough seats in the upstairs room. There was no information about the aurora on board, we just spent an hour or so going one direction, stopped for an hour then came back. Total waste of money
