The Radisson is the one Viking uses. Viking’s own site names it, “or similar”, for the two-night Tromsø extension on its 2028 London-to-Tromsø voyage, and the airport bus stops at the door, per Hurtigruten.
There’s Rorbua Pub, and a gym and sauna on the 10th floor looking over the fjord. Prostneset is about 250 m in a straight line.
It ranks eighth because Radisson doesn’t say breakfast is in the rate, and prints nothing about parking.

- You’re on a Viking voyage and want to match the extension hotel
- You want a sauna with a fjord view
- You’re landing on the airport bus
Look elsewhere if

From TOS without a hotel shuttle
The red airport express bus leaves from in front of arrivals and takes about 15 minutes to the centre, stopping at Prostneset; it was NOK 125 one way on the timetable that ran to 31 March 2026, per Best Arctic. City buses 40 and 42 also serve the airport, and Visit Tromsø puts a taxi at about 10 minutes to the centre. The airport page has the fares.

Which quay
ProstnesetMeasured to Prostneset, the city-centre quays where Hurtigruten’s North Cape Line and the coastal ships board, Radisson Blu is about 250 m in a straight line. Ships over 230 m are sent to Breivika instead, per Seatrade, about 3.5 km away by our rough map pin. Your documents name the quay; the Tromsø cruise guide has the rest.

In town
Fjellet garage, NOK 420 to 450 a dayThere’s no cruise car park at Prostneset or Breivika that we could find. Fjellet, the underground garage in the centre, has about 900 spaces, and stays over 14 days have to be arranged in advance with Tromsø Parkering, per Visit Tromsø. Scandic quotes it at NOK 450 per 24 hours; Comfort Hotel Xpress quotes NOK 420 a night on weekdays, so check the sign.
