My partner and I came to Tromso from California to see the Northern lights and while we were there we wanted a romantic experience that would give us an opportunity to relax and unwind. The Fjord lunch cruise did not disappoint. The captain KJ and Katrina the crewmember / chef made our experience seamless as they introduced us on board and showed us our robes. We immediately changed and began relaxing in the sauna before entering the Zen room and then to the Turkish bath. Eventually we made our way to the hot tub where we met Ana, one of the owners who was absolutely lovely and regaled us with stories of the boats history and Norwegian culture. We jumped in the artic ocean for a quick dip and moved back into the hot tub before lunch.
Lunch consisted of a wonderful Thai style fish soup that was savory and delicious. It was accompanied by a lovely foccasia bread that paired nicely with the soup. We had a few beer onboard as well as a bottle of wine. Wine and beer are Norwegian prices, but well worth it.
If you are on the fence about this experience, don't be! Its romantic, memorable and worth the price.

We did a brunch visit on the Valkana, and we can not recommend it enough! The staff were so lovely and the boat is just amazing! We booked the night before and it was not a problem to get on!
We enjoyed the sauna then took the plunge and jumped into the Arctic Ocean before warming ourselves in the 40 degrees hot tub!! The steam room was also fantastic, then we had a delicious brunch and the staff took the time to have a chat with us and made many recommendations for our stay in Tromso!
We decided to bite the bullet and go for the lunch and cruise. To our surprise we went on board shortly before our 13:00 departure time to find out we were the only guests booked that day. It felt like a private cruise and it was incredible. The crew were so friendly and attentive (Julie in particular.) We spent our time floating between the salt water hot tub, the Hamam and the sauna. KJ our skipper even convinced us to jump in the sea! We loved every second including the delicious lunch. Don’t worry about the price, it’s worth every penny!!
Fantastic experience. Nothing can be better. The sauna and the hot bath were so relaxing. The cook was superb. Exquisite food and friendly people on board. A trip not to be missed.
Great start on a tuesday morning with sauna, hamam/turkish bath, an outdoor hot tub with a view and ice bathing directly from the boat ! Finishing off with fine dining. This I would recommend.
This was so nice to do with good friends, in a cold and snowy day. Soak down in the hot tube on deck, when they're served us a very good apple drink. You can take sauna or soothing steam in their Hamam. Friendly people who works on the boat. They serve fruit, food and alcohol. They give you a robe, towel and slippers for loan. If you are lucky maybe you'll see the Northern Lights.
