Using the Hirtshals Kristiansand ferry timetable
The timetables above show the ferry departures for the date you select. Check both directions carefully: Hirtshals to Kristiansand and Kristiansand to Hirtshals can have different departure times, operators and sailing durations.
Before choosing a sailing, look beyond the first available departure. A later ferry may have a better arrival time, a shorter crossing or a more convenient check-in window for your trip.
What to check in the timetable
- Departure time: make sure it matches the direction you need.
- Arrival time: useful if you still have a long drive after the ferry.
- Operator: Color Line and Fjord Line may have different terminals, check-in rules and onboard options.
- Sailing duration: crossing times can vary by vessel, route schedule and weather conditions.
- Travel day: ferry times can change between weekdays, weekends and holiday periods.
Driving to the port? Leave extra time around Hirtshals or Kristiansand during summer, weekends and school holidays. The sailing time is only one part of the journey; check-in, boarding and port traffic can add extra time.
Booking a return trip? Compare the outward and return timetable separately. The best departure from Hirtshals is not always matched by the best return time from Kristiansand.
After you choose a departure
Once you have found a suitable sailing, check the latest ticket availability with the ferry operator. Prices can vary by operator, vehicle, passenger type, season and selected departure.
