Creator's Key Takeaways

This was by far our most anticipated excursion of the entire cruise.

It honestly didn't feel real. It's the kind of experience we've seen in pictures and dreamed about, but never thought we'd actually experience for ourselves.

All in all, this incredible dog sledding excursion cost £249 per person, which we feel represents great value for money for such an unforgettable experience.

I highly recommend that excursion if you if you can do it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book the dog sledding excursion in Tromsø for a bucket list experience.
Wear proper winter clothing for Arctic conditions.
If you have a drinks package, take advantage of half-price bottles of wine.

A BUCKET LIST excursion in Tromsø! 🐾 Fred. Olsen Borealis | Episode 7 Join us in Episode 7 of our Fred. Olsen Borealis Northern Lights Cruise series as we tick off an absolute bucket list experience — dog sledding in Tromsø, Norway! 🛷❄️ After docking in the Arctic city of Tromsø, we set off on a 50-minute scenic coach ride to Aurora Alps for our long-awaited husky sledding excursion. With thick blankets of snow and frozen lakes, it was a proper winter wonderland from start to finish! We meet our enthusiastic sled team (both humans and huskies!), enjoy a thrilling ride through the snow, and even get to meet the dogs and a sweet little puppy named Grayling 🐶. Afterwards, we warm up in a traditional Sami-style tent with coffee, cake, and an insightful talk about the life of a sled dog in the Arctic. Back on board Fred. Olsen’s Borealis, we soak up more incredible Norwegian scenery from the observation deck and spot some local wildlife (yes — a dolphin!). We end the day with the Cheese and Wine Experience in the Observatory Lounge, sampling locally sourced cheeses paired with our favourite wine — all while admiring the fjords. 📍 Excursion Highlight: Dog sledding in Tromsø – £249pp (and worth every penny!) 📍 Onboard Moments: Lido Pool Bar drinks, Cheese & Wine Experience, dolphin spotting, and those unbeatable fjord views If you’re dreaming of a once-in-a-lifetime Arctic adventure, this is the episode for you! 🌨️💙 🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell so you don’t miss Episode 8, where we spend a relaxing day at sea with fine dining, poolside drinks, and a glamorous formal evening aboard Borealis. 👇 Let us know in the comments – would YOU go dog sledding in Norway?
