The voyage

Four days in the Arctic heart of whale season. Killer whales and humpbacks in the dramatic fjords north of Tromsø, under the Northern Lights.

In November the herring run into the fjords north of Tromsø and the orcas follow. We sail the Lagoon 40 catamaran north from Tromsø City Marina, tracking pods of killer whales and humpbacks around Skjervøy and Kvænangen fjord. Nights at anchor under the Northern Lights. Full board, private cabins, small group. One of the rarest wildlife encounters you can reach by sailboat.
