Tromso

Welcome to Tromsø and the Arctic capital! Located above the Arctic Circle, you will have great opportunities of experiencing the Midnight Sun (from late May till late July) and Northern Lights (from late August till late April). Tromsø is an urban city with a lively cultural scene, busy cafés and restaurants serving world-class food, as well as history and modern art in museums and galleries. In immediate distance to the city center you will find yourself in the middle of nature between majestic mountains and views. Join seasonal activities like dogsledding, whale watching, Sami experiences and more.

Arriving here you will dock at Prostneset Harbour Terminal (Hurtigruten) or Breivika port (larger cruise ships). Prostneset lies in the city center surrounded by mountains on one side and urban city life on the other side. Breivika lies 4 km. north of the centre, and there is shuttle buses and transportation in connection with arrival and departure times. We’re excited to see you here!



Port attractions



  1.  City of sights

    The Arctic Cathedral, the Tromsø bridge, Polaria, the Planetarium and the library in Tromsø are all popular sights. Stand next the Rocket kiosk in Stortorget and you will have views of the Cable Car.

  2.  Great outdoors

    Explore Sami culture, go dogsledding, whale watching, bike around the island, go on RIB-tours under the Midnight sun and more. Nature is only a few steps outside the city and adventures awaits!

  3.  Arctic Lights

    We're lucky to have two natural phenomenons, the Northern Lights and the Midnight sun. Come between September and April to see the Northern Lights and late May till late July to see the Midnight sun.

  4.  Museums and galleries

    Tromsø is called the gateway to the Arctic and you can learn about Arctic explorers in the Polar museum. Visit Tromsø Museum, Perspektivet or Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum for more history and art.

  5.  Wine and dine

    Restaurants like Helmersen, Mathallen, Fiskekompaniet and Full Steam (to name some) serve fresh and locally produced food from the Arctic. Get delicious coffee and drinks in our city cafés and bars.
