Throughout the trip, we serve complimentary coffee and tea, so you can sit back, relax, and make the most of your time at sea.

As we head out onto the fjord, you’ll be surrounded by breathtaking Arctic coastal scenery. Each autumn, Altafjord fills with herring, attracting large groups of whales. This is one of the best places in Northern Norway for whale watching, where orcas, humpback whales, and fin whales are frequent visitors — a truly spectacular experience and a highlight for photographers.

But the wildlife encounters don’t stop there — keep your eyes on the sky! The majestic white-tailed sea eagle, known as the “king of the sky,” rules these waters and is often seen soaring above the fjord. You may also spot many other fascinating seabirds thriving in this rich ecosystem.

Our vessel, MS Lagertha, is heated and offers comfortable indoor seating, as well as an outdoor deck for those who want to get even closer to nature. Whether you prefer to enjoy the view from the warmth inside or feel the fresh Arctic breeze out on deck, you’ll be perfectly positioned for unforgettable moments.

MS Lagertha is a comfortable and spacious 15-meter vessel, 4.65 meters wide, with a draft of 1.38 meters.

Join us on this extraordinary journey and experience the magic of Altafjord — where sea and sky meet.
