Which ports does Hurtigruten call at between Bergen and Kirkenes?
All 34 ports, seasonal fjord visits and what to know about short stops.
Short answer
Hurtigruten calls at 34 ports between Bergen and Kirkenes, including Ålesund, Trondheim, Bodø, Svolvær, Tromsø and Honningsvåg, sailing day and night all year round. Havila, which sails the same route, stops at 34 ports northbound and 33 southbound. Some calls are in the middle of the night, and some stops are very short.
Why
- Hurtigruten says both its northbound and southbound voyages visit 34 ports between Bergen and Kirkenes.
- Havila's timetable starts northbound with Bergen, Florø, Måløy, Torvik and Ålesund.
- In season the northbound ships also sail into the Geirangerfjord (1 April–31 August) or the Hjørundfjord (1 September–31 October), according to Havila's timetable.
Details
The full list from south to north is Bergen, Florø, Måløy, Torvik, Ålesund, Molde, Kristiansund, Trondheim, Rørvik, Brønnøysund, Sandnessjøen, Nesna, Ørnes, Bodø, Stamsund, Svolvær, Stokmarknes, Sortland, Risøyhamn, Harstad, Finnsnes, Tromsø, Skjervøy, Øksfjord, Hammerfest, Havøysund, Honningsvåg, Kjøllefjord, Mehamn, Berlevåg, Båtsfjord, Vardø, Vadsø and Kirkenes. Visit Tromsø says the coastal ships call at Tromsø twice a day. Havila says you can go ashore in practically every port, but some calls are at night and others are only short.
Tip
Check the timetable before you plan time ashore: in Havila's northbound timetable, for example, Florø is a 15-minute stop at 02:45.
What may differ
Havila counts 33 ports southbound against 34 northbound, and the Geirangerfjord or Hjørundfjord detour is made on the northbound voyage.
