1 Hour Photo & History Cruise
This activity is conducted by Hermes II.
Join us aboard the Hermes II as we embark on a captivating fjord and photo cruise around the breathtaking landscapes of Tromsø. This remarkable journey not only offers you a selection of carefully curated photo opportunities amidst our awe-inspiring surroundings but also unveils the rich history of our cherished authentic wooden vessel.
Step into the world of total relaxation on board our venerable wooden boat, just minutes away from the heart of Tromsø. The Hermes II seamlessly blends the charm of a bygone era with modern amenities, including a heated lounge, a well-stocked bar, and comfortable below-deck facilities.
A true relic of the past, the Hermes II was originally constructed in 1917 as a versatile cargo vessel, tasked with transporting fish, coal, animals, and building materials. Over time, it took on new roles, including shrimp and capelin fishing. After decades of tireless service, the boat underwent an extensive restoration project from 2016 to 2019, earning it the status of a certified preservation masterpiece. In 2021, this dedication to preserving our maritime heritage was honoured with the prestigious Tromsø Culture Community Award.
Welcome aboard and be a part of this incredible chapter in Norwegian history!
