A low swell rocks the catamaran as Tromsø shrinks behind a ribbon of harbor lights. Onboard the Arctic Princess, guests recline on a daybed or peer through panoramic saloon windows, the sea air pulling at their coats while steaming mugs settle in gloved hands. The hunt is deliberate—the captain reads the sky and sails to pockets of clear air where the aurora is likeliest to flare.

If prone to motion sickness, book a central inside seat and consider medication before boarding.
