Route guide

Hirtshals to Stavanger: overnight ferry to western Norway

Fjord Line operates the Hirtshals–Stavanger–Bergen corridor year-round with MS Stavangerfjord and MS Bergensfjord. The Hirtshals to Stavanger sector takes about eleven hours and arrives in the Stavanger region the following morning.

For vehicle travellers, the overnight ferry can replace many hours of driving through Scandinavia. Cabin or Airseat choice, pet arrangements and the road transfer from Risavika terminal should all be considered when comparing the total journey.

Compare the total journey rather than only the headline fare: departure time, arrival time, vehicle cost, accommodation, port formalities and onward travel can materially change which sailing is best.

Timetables can change between seasons and weekdays. Check the live result for the exact sailing date, vessel and check-in requirement before arranging tightly timed onward plans.

If you are connecting to accommodation, another ferry or ground transport, leave a sensible margin after the scheduled arrival. Weather, port traffic and boarding operations can occasionally affect the final timing.
