How it works

You will be met off the ship and led to the magnificent Tromsø Cathedral. Built in 1861, this impressive structure embraces neo-Gothic style and showcases the finest wood from Målselv. The cathedral’s long, cruciform structure echoes with soft acoustics that lend themselves perfectly to a night of musical enchantment.

As you arrive, you’ll receive your evening playlist complete with notes to enhance your experience. Prepare to be enchanted by a talented trio of musicians who will take you on a journey through Norway’s musical heritage.

Though the performance will vary from season to season, it will encompass a delightful blend of Nordic classical masterpieces, familiar melodies and folk tunes. All in all, it’s a moving way to end the day.

Available: Year-round

Hurtigruten's MS Finnmarken — identifiable by its red hull and illuminated white superstructure — sails through a calm Norwegian fjord at night beneath a spectacular aurora borealis display. Sweeping curtains of green northern lights radiate across a star-filled sky, while snow-covered mountains rise steeply from the water's edge in the background. The ship's warm lights and the aurora reflect in the glassy surface of the fjord below.
