Fjord Line’s ferries, STAVANGERFJORD and BERGENSFJORD, will sail the additional evening departure between Hirtshals and Kristiansand. From Kristiansand, the ships will sail to Stavanger on the new domestic night route. From Stavanger, the journey continues to Bergen.

“We are delighted to strengthen Fjord Line’s services for passengers and freight customers with these new departures,” says Brian Thorsted Hansen, CEO of Fjord Line.

Today, Fjord Line sails northbound, directly from Hirtshals to Stavanger-Bergen. The new departures change this, and the ships will now sail Hirtshals-Kristiansand-Stavanger-Bergen.

Southbound, the route remains as it is today; Bergen-Stavanger-Hirtshals.

The new departures can be booked from 1 February to 7 May 2024, and from 2 September to 30 December 2024. Between 7 May and 2 September, Fjord Line continues to sail 3-4 departures daily between Hirtshals and Kristiansand with FJORD FSTR, STAVANGERFJORD and BERGENSFJORD.

“The new services create even more experiential journeys for our guests. The evening departure from Hirtshals to Kristiansand gives Norwegian, Danish and foreign guests another daily travel option between Norway and the continent,” Thorsted Hansen says.

The extra evening departure between Kristiansand and Hirtshals also allows travellers a day trip between Kristiansand and Hirtshals.

The new evening departure between Norway and Denmark is also attractive for freight transport. The same applies to the new domestic route between Kristiansand, Stavanger and Bergen. Fjord Line accounts for a significant share of the freight transport at sea between Norway and Denmark and wants to continue this by strengthening its services.
