Dinner Cruise Under the Midnight Sun
May - Aug
3 hours
During the summer months, the midnight sun gives you many extra hours to enjoy your day. What better way to spend a sunny evening, than having dinner on a boat? Join us for a unique culinary experience out on the fjords of Svalbard.
Midnight sun and silent cruising
Between April and August, Svalbard is immersed in sunlight around the clock. The sun shines bright both during day and night, which is a very odd feeling! On this evening tour, we sail out on Isfjorden and cruise along the never-ending mountain landscapes. In addition to enjoying a delicious dinner in majestic surroundings, there are good chances that you will spot some wildlife. The fjords are normally full of sea birds, and with some luck we might spot a whale or two.
You will travel with the hybrid electric catamaran MS Bard. The engine and propellers are specially designed to minimise the noise and vibration. This not only takes you closer to nature; More importantly, the surrounding wildlife is less disturbed by our presence.
Enjoy a 3 course dinner
During the cruise you will get served a three course dinner. The dinner is served inside, where you have a fantastic view through massive panoramic windows. Throughout the tour you are free to move on several outdoor decks as well, where you also can find comfortable seating areas.
Menu
• Carrot soup
• Svalbard cod with ratatouille and mashed potatoes
• Chocolate mousse with caramelized white chocolate
Drinks are available for purchase on board.
We offer vegetarian options on request. Please inform us by sending an email to info@hurtigrutensvalbard.com, no later than 48h before departure.
About the boat
MS Bard is a new and groundbreaking catamaran for day cruises, specially built to leave the smallest footprint possible in the vulnerable Arctic nature. When we approach glaciers, wildlife or settlements, it runs silently on electric propulsion. At higher speeds we use a hybrid solution, where both an electric motor and diesel engine run at the same time. In that way, we get the speed up whilst reducing the diesel consumption.
The boat has a contemporary, Norwegian design that contributes to the serene experience on board. In addition to several in- and outdoor decks, you will find a café and bar with a diverse selection of snacks and drinks.
