General information

This tour is conducted by Cruise Service. Enjoy the views from the boat’s warm lounge or step out onto the deck in the crisp Arctic air for an even closer look. Our 5.5-hour round trip offers a comfortable and safe journey through the Arctic fjords, with durations varying from 4 to 6 hours to ensure the best chances of spotting whales. Snacks and beverages are available for purchase from the onboard bar.


Comfortable, Fast, and Spacious Boat

Aboard MS Keiser Wilhelm, you can relax in a spacious lounge with large windows, offering panoramic views as you stay warm and cozy inside. If you’d like a closer connection with nature, the deck offers an excellent platform to breathe in the fresh sea air and admire the whales, scenery, and perhaps even the Northern Lights. Just remember to bring warm clothing. 


Øksfjord

Halfway through the journey, we’ll make a brief stop in Øksfjord, a charming fishing village surrounded by towering mountains and sparkling waters. Take in the stunning Arctic landscape, capture photos of the tranquil surroundings, and stretch your legs as you soak in the peaceful atmosphere before we continue our journey.
