(Please checkin to hotel before 19:30)
Already hundreds of years ago explorers gathered in Tromsø to socialize, plan expeditions and enjoy the “Capital of the Arctic” also known as the “Paris of the North”. We encourage the group to use a few hours the first day to stroll around the small town, have a coffee at some of the cozy cafés, check-in at your hotel and take a moment to breathe in the fresh air - we are in the Arctic!
When booking a journey with our group, you always have access to our team of destination experts who can provide a small bundle of recommendations and points of interest you can explore on your own. If you have something special in mind we will help you book the experience. We recommend a late lunch or small bite before the briefing at 19:30 - a hot, fresh soup will be served around 22:30 while out on your first sailing tour.

We will then hold a workshop for Northern Lights, with the basics that you need to know to make the most out of your experience. Why do they appear, what are the chances to see them, how do we predict weather and how do you take amazing photos of the Northern Lights - a short dive into the world of an Arctic explorer over a fresh cup of coffee or hot tea.

During this day we sail out in the fjords together on one of our comfortable catamarans, fish for lunch at one of our favorite fishing spots, and prepare a fresh, homemade meal on-board.
