Take in the atmospheric Arctic night and light in all its majesty with 360 degree uninhibited panoramas, both outside and in. In warmth and comfort, we cruise around Tromsø island, past snow-covered mountains, landmarks like the Arctic cathedral and through icy waters. We’ll launch an underwater drone and lights to discover the mysteries of the depths below. And as the darkness of the ocean reflects the stars above, if we’re lucky the Northern Lights may appear. Below the surface, you might discover both marine life and one of World War II’s pivotal events: the sinking of Germany’s largest warship Tirpitz in the icy waters outside Tromsø. Hear the story of British air raiders who bombed and sank this ship that Churchill called “the Beast”.
