Aurora borealis over S/Y Stella Oceana

About this activity

Experience Tromsø’s winter fjords after dark aboard S/Y Stella Oceana, a spacious 34-meter expedition sailing yacht limited to 12 guests. This is more than a Northern Lights search: it is a relaxed four-hour evening on the water, with generous outdoor decks for watching the Arctic sky and a heated saloon for dining and warming up between periods outside. Each booking group receives 30–45 minutes of reserved private hot-tub time beneath the night sky. Enjoy a non-alcoholic welcome drink, traditional reindeer stew with bread, and coffee, tea, hot chocolate, water and cookies. Blankets, pillows, books and games add to the comfort onboard. The Captain selects the safest and most suitable route through the fjords based on the evening’s sea and weather conditions, while the Captain and crew provide personal service and local insight throughout.
