About this experience
Experience the Magic of the Midnight Sun on a Private Yacht Cruise in Lofoten
Sail under the golden glow of the Midnight Sun on this private 3.5-hour evening cruise from Svolvær in the Lofoten Islands. This peaceful yacht journey, reserved just for your group, offers breathtaking Arctic scenery, wildlife encounters, and the option to add a hot tub and polar plunge.
There is no fixed route; your voyage follows the wind and sea for a natural and personal experience. We often explore near Litlmolla Island, an extinct volcano with white-sand beaches and dramatic peaks, though each journey is adjusted for your comfort and safety.
Watch for whales, dolphins, puffins, and sea eagles as we navigate the beautiful Vestfjord area. Settle into cozy blankets with a warm drink and enjoy the magic of the Arctic evening.
Perfect for travelers who value privacy, comfort, and personalized service, this private cruise offers a quiet and exclusive way to experience the beauty of Lofoten.
