Western Norway to Denmark
Fjord Line sails Bergen–Hirtshals with MS Stavangerfjord, calling at Stavanger on the way. You sleep on board the longest leg and arrive in Hirtshals on the northern tip of Jutland — a gateway to Denmark and onward into Europe.
Both ships, MS Stavangerfjord and MS Bergensfjord, run on LNG (liquefied natural gas) for cleaner operation.
On board
Cabins in several categories, buffet and à la carte dining, a tax-free shop and family areas. A cabin is included on the overnight crossing.
A faster option to Denmark
If you want the quickest crossing to Denmark instead, Kristiansand–Hirtshals (Fjord Line's fast craft Fjord FSTR) takes about 2 h 15 min.
