Two companies, four Norwegian ports.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Two companies sail from Hirtshals to Norway in 2026. Color Line goes to Kristiansand in about 3 hours 15 minutes and to Larvik in about 3 hours 45 minutes with SuperSpeed 1 and SuperSpeed 2. Fjord Line sails to Kristiansand with a fast catamaran and cruise ships, and on to West Norway on the route Hirtshals–Stavanger–Bergen. The direct ship to Bergen saves about eight hours of driving compared with going through southern Norway.
