What you can expect

  • Find total relaxation on board our authentic old wooden boat and enjoy the experience just minutes from Tromsø town centre. Hermes II is an old boat with modern technology and facilities. Among other things, it has a heated lounge, a bar and toilets below deck.

    The boat was built in 1917 and was originally a cargo boat for fish, coal, animals and building materials. Fishing for shrimp and capelin were later added. After many years of hard work, the boat was completely renovated from 2016 - 2019, making it a certified preservation project. In 2021, the work and dedication to preserving this boat was rewarded with the Tromsø Culture Community Award. Welcome to an amazing piece of Norwegian history!

    Included:

    • Storytelling. Get to know the Hermes II storey.
    • Peace and quiet on deck. Heated lounge below.
    • Hot drinks. Other drinks may be purchased on board.
    • Warm blankets and thermal suits if needed.
    • All personal safety gear.
