Come join us for an evening cruise out on the dramatic and breathtaking Alta Fjord. You’ll cruise out along the sparkling water under a huge sky, surrounded by low mountains dotted with tiny towns and occasional houses, and Alta off in the distance.

As evening descends, the setting sun will light the sky on fire – arctic sunsets are things of majesty. Is it June or July? Then you get the midnight sun casting vibrant colors on the surrounding mountains. A cloudy night? Look for the setting sun to shine dramatic beams down through the clouds onto the gray and challenging water. Along the way, there will be food and drink, and as you cruise and wait for the setting sun, you can take refuge from the wind and play fun games with the other guests or hear stories from the captain about the local area. You will return to shore around midnight, either in the full daylight of midsummer or the gloom of the outer months.

Sunsets and specific kinds of weather cannot be guaranteed – the tour will be fun, but every day’s weather will be different.
