Step aboard Alba in Vervet and set out on a true Arctic adventure. As the city fades, snowy peaks and dramatic fjords surround you, creating the perfect backdrop for whale watching. Each winter, enormous shoals of herring gather in these waters, attracting orcas and humpback whales. From outdoor decks or the comfort of the heated lounge, you may see whales diving, tail-slapping, or even breaching.
Our experienced guides are with you throughout the journey, helping you spot whales and sharing fascinating stories about their behaviour and the fragile Arctic ecosystem. What makes this tour unique is the balance of adventure and comfort: Alba is fast, stable, and built for Arctic conditions, yet offers warm indoor seating, onboard restrooms, and complimentary coffee, tea, and biscuits.
Lasting 6–7 hours, this full-day safari combines dramatic scenery, incredible wildlife, and authentic guiding. If you’re visiting Tromsø in winter, it’s the ultimate whale watching experience.
