Silent hybrid-electric cruise from Svolvær into Trollfjord, searching for white-tailed eagles, warm indoor comfort, and drone views.

“It was very nice and luckily we had good weather. The fjords are beautiful and we even saw eagles and dolphins! The crew, especially the guy from Romania and the lady from Poland were very nice. It was worth it. Only thing that would be nice is if they would clean the windows of the boat. We were outside most of the time but also inside sometimes and thereforce noticed the dirty windows...”

“This fishing trip was an absolutely fantastic experience! As a girl from China traveling alone, it was my first time ever trying fishing, and I couldn't have asked for a better introduction. The captain was incredibly patient and took us to several different spots in search of fish. At one of the locations, we ended up catching over a dozen fish smoothly—it was so exciting! The whole activity was filled with joy and a great sense of accomplishment. What made it even more special was that on our way back, the captain took the time to explain how to handle fresh fish and even shared tips on how to prepare…”

Lofoten Island: Silent Trollfjord Cruise from Svolvær

/ August 30, 2026

7.Lofoten Island: Silent Trollfjord Cruise from Svolvær

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 389 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $144

Silent electric Trollfjord cruise from Svolvær with eagle sightings, multi-deck views, and a weather-dependent underwater drone. 3 hours.

“Nice cruise- loved the up and close to sea eagles. Boat slowed so we could all see and take photos. We did not like the fact that the narration could not be heard unless you went inside the boat- outer decks could not hear any of the narration. So we basically could either see outside the sights or hear what we were seeing - not both.”
