Cruise Norway's fjords – all electric. Here's a guide to scenic fjord cruises all over the country.
The best electric fjord cruises in Norway
Imagine this view, as you glide smoothly and silently on the fjords on modern, comfortable boats.
A fjord cruise is an amazing way to explore the coast, and by choosing one of Norway's many electric cruises, you can do so with a clearer conscience.
Norway is cruising
Norway is already the world leader when it comes to electric bikes and cars, and the revolution has hit the fjords as well. More and more electric day cruise ships, express boats, and ferries are emerging, giving you the opportunity to enjoy quiet, smooth, and scenic travel.
Many of Norway's newest electric and hybrid vessels are designed and built in Norway, bringing together pioneering technology, innovative design, and generations of maritime expertise. The result is a new way to explore the coast – and further proof of Norway's leading role in shaping the future of sustainable seafaring.
Quiet, zero-emission travel feels perfectly at home among Norway’s pristine fjords and dramatic coastal landscapes. Step out on deck, or settle into a warm and comfortable lounge with elegant Nordic design and panoramic windows made for soaking up the view.
All that remains is to choose your journey. And with so many unforgettable cruises to discover, that may be the hardest part!
Northern Norway
This part of Norway has outstanding nature that is definitely worth enjoying on an electric cruise! You can experience everything from Arctic wildlife and a green light show dancing across the sky, to never-ending sunlight and swooping eagles from towering mountains.
There are several options for cruises in Lofoten, Tromsø, Bodø, and Svalbard with hybrid-electric ships.
Lofoten
In Lofoten, Brim Explorer offers cruises to the narrow and spectacular Trollfjord and northern lights cruises.
Tromsø
In Tromsø, whale watching with Brim Explorer or Rødne are two of the best options for comfortable, sustainable, and ethical whale watching around Skjervøy.
Brim Explorer, Rødne Fjord Cruise and Fjordtours also offer other kinds of cruises from Tromsø, like dinner cruises, northern light cruises, and midnight sun cruises.

Brim Explorer also offers scenic cruises in the up-and-coming Bodø region and around Svalbard during the summer.

Havila Voyages operates some of the world's most modern low emission cruise ships, powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG) and large battery packs. Their vessels can sail for hours emission-free.
