Well above the Arctic Circle, in the land of the Midnight Sun, midway between the Lofoten Islands and the North Cape, a convenient sailing from Spitsbergen and North West Russia, between islands, fjords and mountains, you find Tromsø – the Gateway to the Arctic.

Tromsø is a natural port of call to visit for cruise ships entering Arctic conditions. Tromsø is Norway’s sixth largest cruise destination. The city has a number of popular and fascinating attractions. This in combination with a spectacular nature makes Tromsø the ideal starting point for excursions and experiences.

Cruise is an important market for the tourist industry in the regions and is therefore one of the focus areas for the port of Tromsø. In cooperation with other companies, the Port of Tromsø spares no effort to give visitors a memorable stay in Tromsø.

The Port of Tromsø has stable weather conditions and can offer a full range of facilities and services. The airport is only 4 km from the harbour areas and this combined with being the Gateway to the Arctic, makes Tromsø an excellent choice for turnarounds.
