Detailed day by day description
Introduction
Dear Traveler, thank you for choosing The Molt Collection.
We have meticulously selected every tour and adventure to make sure that this will not just become another trip but the experience of a lifetime.
Here below is the itinerary. The information is indicative and may have variations on designated tours.
Day
Welcome aboard!
See the city of Tromsø and its surroundings from the sea. Join us on an excursion through the Tromsø Strait and the fjords and islands near the city. Enjoy the views, explore the beautifully restored ship, and learn about the exciting history of the Hermes II. Sailing through the Tromsø fjords is an impressive and direct experience. As the ship moves forward, you are surrounded by large rock cliffs rising from the water. The slopes are covered with a mixture of vegetation, and in many places you can see waterfalls cascading down the sides. The atmosphere is peaceful and the main sound is the gentle hum of the ship's engine, mixed with the echo of seagulls. The water is dark and often reflects the sky and mountains, creating stunning images. The light changes constantly, giving the landscape different tones as the day progresses. It is a journey that allows you to see Arctic nature up close, with its size and beauty in a serene setting.
The peace and tranquillity on board are much appreciated, and there are countless places to take photos.
Seabirds, eagles, seals and other wildlife are an added attraction. This is something that cannot be missed on your bucket list!
Hot fish pie and hot drinks are included. Cold drinks and snacks are available for purchase.
HERMES II THE BOAT
Experience the breath-taking scenery and the atmosphere on board this more than 100-year old, unique wooden boat. Enjoy the calmness out on the clear Arctic waters, while we guide you through Hermes II’s history. It is difficult to describe a feeling to someone who has never felt it. How do you describe a unique experience that only you have had? So, how do we explain the feeling of being on board a wooden boat that is over 100 years old to someone who has never experienced it? We can try with words, pictures and video, but you can only appreciate the full experience when you get on board.
Hermes II is equipped with top-quality modern navigation and safety equipment. On board, you will meet highly qualified and experienced skippers and hosts with upgraded safety training. A trip with Hermes II should be a pleasant and safe experience for everyone.
You can wander around on deck and enjoy the atmosphere or relax on the seating. Blankets and seat mats are available when you want to warm up a bit. If it’s still a little too cold for you, we have thermal insulation suits you can borrow. Below deck you will find a nice and warm lounge with seating, dining table, bunks, bar and toilets. There are also screens that show films about the boats the company owns. From dramatic scenes from deep-sea fishing in the Barents Sea to scenic trips in glorious sunshine with Hermes II. All the screens that the skipper has on the bridge can also be viewed down here. You can follow the boat’s course, observe where other boats are located, check the depth around the vessel and try to see if there are fish nearby.
