Can I use Hurtigruten or Havila as a ferry between just two ports?

Port-to-port tickets, cabins, meals, booking and discounts.

Short answer

Yes, both Hurtigruten and Havila sell port-to-port tickets, so you can sail between two ports on the Bergen-Kirkenes route without booking the whole voyage. Food is not included with either company. Hurtigruten requires a cabin for trips over 23 hours, and both take bookings from six months before departure.

Why Hurtigruten is so popular a red train crossing a bridge, a small airplane above and a ferry on blue water below

Why

  1. Hurtigruten says no cabin is needed for journeys under 23 hours, but a cabin is mandatory for longer journeys.
  2. Havila says port-to-port trips must be booked no later than 2 hours before the ship arrives at your port and cannot be booked earlier than 6 months before departure.
  3. Hurtigruten gives 50% off to seniors aged 67 and over from EEA countries and 75% off to children aged 6–17, while children under 6 travel free.

Details

Hurtigruten sends a booking reference by email instead of a paper ticket, and you can also buy a ticket on board or at the port, where cash in Norwegian kroner is accepted. Havila's port-to-port guests without a cabin can book comfort or sleeping chairs on deck four at extra cost. Meals can be booked as a package or bought on board.

Tip

For a short daytime hop a seat is enough, but on an overnight stretch book a cabin or a sleeping chair, as Hurtigruten advises a cabin for overnight travel.

What may differ

Havila's discounts for seniors, students and conscripts apply only to Norwegian travellers, and Hurtigruten's senior discount applies to travellers from EEA countries.
