Overview

  • Step aboard Alba from Tromsø and set out on a true Arctic adventure. As the city fades, snowy peaks and dramatic fjords surround you, creating the perfect backdrop for whale watching. Each winter, enormous shoals of herring gather in these waters, attracting orcas and humpback whales. From outdoor decks or the comfort of the heated lounge, you may see whales diving, tail-slapping, or even breaching.

    Our experienced guides are with you throughout the journey, helping you spot whales and sharing fascinating stories about their behaviour and the fragile Arctic ecosystem. What makes this tour unique is the balance of adventure and comfort: Alba is fast, stable, and built for Arctic conditions, yet offers warm indoor seating, on-board toilets, and complimentary coffee, tea, and biscuits.

    Lasting 8 hours (± 1 hour), this full-day safari combines dramatic scenery, incredible wildlife, and authentic guiding. If you’re visiting Tromsø in winter, it’s the ultimate whale watching experience.

Activity itinerary

Tromso, Norway Harbor (Pass by)

Your day begins at Tromsø Harbour, Fr Nansens plass 1, 9008 Tromsø. The boat is docked near the Circle K petrol station, close to the Tromsø Bridge, on the opposite side of the harbour from Vervet. Here, you’ll meet our friendly crew and board MS Alba with both heated indoor lounges and outdoor viewing decks. After a short welcome and safety briefing, you can grab a warm seat inside or head out on deck to watch the harbour slip away as the snowy Arctic mountains set the backdrop for your journey.

Tromso Fjords (Pass by)

As the boat leaves Tromsø behind, you’ll cruise through the stunning fjords that surround the city. Towering peaks, fishing villages, and wide stretches of Arctic seascape unfold as you sail deeper into the wilderness. This is the time to enjoy the scenery, take photos, and listen as our guides share stories about life in the Arctic and the unique ecosystem you’re about to experience.

Tromso Fjords

  • 2h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
The highlight of the safari takes place in the whale feeding grounds, where herring gather in massive shoals during the winter. This attracts both orcas and humpback whales, and if you’re lucky, you might see them diving, tail-slapping, or even breaching. For several hours, you’ll watch these giants of the ocean from the comfort of the heated cabin or the open viewing decks. To keep you warm, hot drinks and biscuits are served on board while our guides explain whale behaviour and the importance of these Arctic waters.

Tromso Fjords (Pass by)

After the whale encounters, MS Alba turns back towards Tromsø. The return journey is another chance to enjoy the Arctic landscapes, often bathed in the magical twilight of winter. Relax indoors or step outside for fresh air as the fjords and mountains come back into view.

Tromso, Norway Harbor (Pass by)

By late afternoon, you’ll arrive back at Tromsø Harbour, right where you started. With cameras full of photos and memories of orcas and humpbacks in the wild, your Arctic whale safari comes to an end.
