Testimonies

“Personalised Northern Lights Boat Trip: At less than 1 hour notice we were able to join Kurt on the Arctic Princess for a Northern lights tour at 7 pm on 6th January 2015. There were two of us and four people from Malaysia, so we had a very personalized tour. The boat is very new and comfortable. We sailed for about 30-40 minutes and then Kurt helped us get fully equipped by providing bodysuits. Once on deck, we had a magnificent view of the Northern lights for at least 2 hours. When it finally got too cold to stay outside in -17c we went into the cabin and Kurt served his excellent fish soup. Finally, we returned to Tromso harbor and could still see the Northern lights when we got off the boat. A recommended service from a smaller company."
