Route guide

Plan your ferry from Stavanger to Hirtshals

The Stavanger to Hirtshals crossing links Stavanger in Norway with Hirtshals in Denmark. This route is part of the North Sea / Denmark–Norway ferry network.

For a departure from Stavanger, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Fjord Line’s Stavanger terminal is at Risavika in Tananger, west of the city centre. Drivers can connect quickly to the regional road network, while passengers without a vehicle should plan the transfer into central Stavanger.

On the other side of the crossing, Hirtshals is your arrival port. Hirtshals is small enough to navigate easily, with rail links into North Jutland and direct E39 access for ferry motorists.

Compare the Stavanger departure and Hirtshals arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Stavanger to Hirtshals result when planning your trip rather than assuming the outward timetable applies in reverse.

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.
