A Mesmerizing Whale Safari with Yacht Arctic Queen in Norway

Early in the winter morning, the crew in Arctic Cruise in Norway prepared to welcome guests on the luxury yacht, the Arctic Queen. The anticipation began to build at 8 a.m. as we eagerly prepared for a journey into the heart of the Norwegian seas, hoping to witness the majestic creatures that roam beneath the surface.

Our voyage started from Tromsø, and the two-hour trip to Skjervøy via Lyngen was filled with excitement. However, our enthusiasm was tempered by a message notifying us that the whales might have moved further away, threatening to cast a shadow over our hopes. The worry lingered during the journey, unsure if we would reach the spectacle in time.

Upon our arrival, any doubts were instantly swept away by the awe-inspiring scene that unfolded before us. Orcas, the graceful giants of the sea, swam in large groups, effortlessly gliding through the water with incredible speed. Their tails splashed and their spouts erupted like geysers in the greyish blue sea, creating a mesmerizing display of nature's grandeur. Witnessing them spy hopping and showcasing their prowess was a thrilling experience beyond our dreams.

But the show didn't end there. The arrival of the majestic humpback whale raised our thrill to a new peak. Its massive body gracefully navigated the waters right beside our yacht, and the deep, resonant spouts echoed in the air. The colossal tail rose to greet us, splashing authoritatively in the water, a reminder that we were merely guests in their natural habitat. The sea was their stage and we were privileged spectators, laughing with excitement at the sheer marvel before us.
