Day 1
Arrival at Tromso airport (TOS) and transfer to the harbor to board your vessel in the afternoon.
Day 2-6
For five full days, you follow the schools of herring and pods of orcas and humpbacks in the protected surroundings of the beautiful Norwegian fjords. Two expert guides will accompany you on your whale watching adventures. Be prepared for cold but rewarding days out at sea with spectacular sightings of a unique display of mother nature.
The combination of this natural phenomena, the beautiful ever-changing scenery of the Norwegian fjords and the amazing Northern Lights, makes this trip an exclusive experience of nature.
Have your cameras charged and whenever possible be ready to slip into the cold water for a Polar snorkel adventure. For snorkelers, a (Waterproof D9) snorkel dry suit and snorkel equipment will be provided.
If you choose not to snorkel, you can enjoy the phenomena from the spacious deck on board your ship or join the zodiac excursions for up-close whale watching and excellent photography opportunities!
During the darker hours, you will enjoy the warm and cozy comfort of the expedition yacht while expert guides entertain you with presentations and educational information on wildlife and cinematography and films. Excellent food is served with a fine selection of wines and beers.
Day 7
Disembarkation in the morning after breakfast and farewell to your crew.
Please note that Waterproof Cruises & Expeditions is always ready to alter plans accordingly to take advantage of light, weather, wildlife sightings, and other one-of-a-kind opportunities which can vary unpredictably from day to day.
They cannot guarantee that all activities and shore landings will take place or that they will include all the events they’ve outlined in advance. Embracing the unexpected is part of the legacy - and excitement - of expedition-style travel, and a measure of flexibility is something all of you must bring along on the voyage.
Physical health info
When you join an expedition to the Arctic, you must be in good general health and able to walk long distances. If you join an excursion or landing, you must be able to get up and down the steep gangway from the ship to the water level to board the Zodiacs. Staff will assist you in and out of the boats. Ashore it can be slippery and rocky, therefore it is recommended that you are in good general health without any life-threatening conditions.
