Fjord cruises from Tromsø run on the open water through most of the year, and the listings on this page set their own calendars rather than following a single season. A few give timing directly: one floating experience notes the fjord after it has frozen over from January to March, another mentions evening tours from October to March when northern lights may appear above the water, and one cruise lists fishing between February and October. Aurora season more broadly runs from late August until late March, with spring and autumn seeing the highest activity. For exact departure dates on any tour, read the listing before you plan.
Collected from the live listings of the tours above. Where a figure is missing, the listing did not state it.
The main differences between these cards come down to duration, format, and what the price covers. A short 2.5-hour history cruise with snacks suits a tight schedule, while the 5-hour fishing and fjord cruises give you more time on the water. Note that prices are per person unless a card says per group, and the road-based tours such as the Sommaroy expedition work differently from the boat cruises.
Before you commit, open the listing for the tour you like and read the full description, since details like what to bring and how each departure works are set out there. Compare a few dates if your trip allows, as availability across the 12 tours varies. The live booking page shows current times and any options before you pay.
Durations on this page run from 2.5 hours on the Fjord History Cruise with Snack and Drinks up to 5 hours on the Arctic Fjord Cruise & Fishing Experience and the Fjord Adventure Tour with Wildlife and Lunch.

The Fjord History Cruise with Snack and Drinks is the shorter outing at 2.5 hours from $155.97, while the Half Day Arctic Fjord Cruise from Tromso runs 4 hours from $159.52.
