• Tromsø Harbour - Begin the day at Tromsø Harbour, located in the heart of the city. Here, the friendly crew will welcome you aboard the MS Alba, a modern, high-speed catamaran featuring heated indoor lounges and outdoor viewing decks. After a brief welcome and safety briefing, choose a cozy seat inside or step out on deck to watch the harbor fade away, with the snowy Arctic mountains providing a stunning backdrop for your adventure.
• Tromso Fjords - As the vessel departs from Tromsø, it will navigate through the breathtaking fjords surrounding the city. Majestic peaks, quaint fishing villages, and expansive Arctic seascapes unfold as you venture deeper into the wilderness. This is the perfect opportunity to admire the scenery, capture photos, and listen to the guides as they share fascinating stories about Arctic life and the unique ecosystem you are about to explore.
• Tromso Fjords - The safari’s highlight occurs in the whale feeding grounds, where herring gather in large shoals during winter. This attracts both orcas and humpback whales, and with some luck, you might witness them diving, tail-slapping, or even breaching. For several hours, observe these ocean giants from the comfort of the heated cabin or the open viewing decks. Hot drinks and biscuits are served on board to keep you warm, while the guides explain whale behavior and the significance of these Arctic waters.
• Tromso Fjords - Following the whale encounters, MS Alba will head back towards Tromsø. The return journey offers another chance to appreciate the Arctic landscapes, often illuminated by the enchanting winter twilight. Relax indoors or enjoy the fresh air outside as the fjords and mountains reappear.
• Tromso Fjords - By late afternoon, you will return to Tromsø Harbour, where the journey began. With cameras filled with photos and memories of orcas and humpbacks in their natural habitat, your Arctic whale safari concludes.
