Route guide

Leaving Norway from the Revet terminal

Color Line’s passenger terminal is at Revet 8, about 2.5 km from Larvik’s rail and bus station. If you are coming from Oslo by train, check what time you reach the terminal rather than using the train’s Larvik arrival as your ferry check-in time. See Color Line’s SuperSpeed and terminal guide.

SuperSpeed 2 makes the sea crossing in around 3 hours 45 minutes. Color Line asks passengers with and without a vehicle to arrive at least 60 minutes before sailing. For a party with luggage or children, it is worth arranging the station transfer before the day of departure.

If you are leaving a car at the terminal, the operator describes limited outdoor parking with no advance reservation. If you are taking the car aboard, enter its full dimensions, including any extra length or height, and use your booking to identify the right lane.

Arrival in Denmark is at Norgeskajen in Hirtshals. The station and bus interchange are walkable from this terminal, so a rail itinerary can work well for passengers travelling light. Check the departure from Hirtshals separately and include disembarkation time.

Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Hirtshals may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.

After arriving

Continue your journey from Hirtshals

Hirtshals is small enough to navigate easily, with rail links into North Jutland and direct E39 access for ferry motorists.

The town centre and parts of the harbour are compact, although ferry check-in areas can be farther apart.

Local trains link Hirtshals with Hjørring, where connections continue through North Jutland and towards Aalborg.

Driving is the easiest way to combine the ferry with Skagen, Rubjerg Knude, beaches and smaller coastal settlements.

For an onward connection from Hirtshals, include time to leave the ship and terminal. Check local transport for the actual arrival day, especially if the ferry arrives early in the morning or late at night. A nearby hotel or a later connection may give more flexibility if the crossing is delayed.
