Route guide

Plan your ferry from Larvik to Hirtshals

The Larvik to Hirtshals crossing links Larvik in Norway with Hirtshals in Denmark.

For a departure from Larvik, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Larvik is on Norway’s south-eastern coast, with road links towards Oslo, Sandefjord, Grenland and Telemark. The terminal is close to Larvik town and the E18 corridor.

On the other side of the crossing, Hirtshals is your arrival port. Hirtshals is small enough to navigate easily, with rail links into North Jutland and direct E39 access for ferry motorists.

Compare the Larvik departure and Hirtshals arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Larvik to Hirtshals result when planning your trip rather than assuming the outward timetable applies in reverse.

Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Hirtshals may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.

Including this crossing in a trip from the UK

Allow for the overland journey to Larvik before choosing the ferry. A separately booked flight, train or earlier crossing may not protect you if you miss check-in. Use local times on both sides and check entry rules for each country on your full itinerary. Travel within Europe is not automatically free of document checks.

Planning the wider journey in Denmark

There is no assumption here of a direct ferry from Britain to Denmark. Plan the approach through a Dutch, French or German gateway, then compare Danish domestic crossings and onward sailings to Norway, Sweden or the North Atlantic.

Planning advice for the journey from Britain

Passengers, vehicles and the fare

Select the correct passenger category before comparing Larvik to Hirtshals fares. A passenger-only boat cannot take a car, and a vehicle ferry may still have limited bicycle or foot-passenger availability. The travel modes shown in the facts panel should be checked against the specific sailing.

For a vehicle booking, give the full height and length including a roof box, rear rack or trailer. Where accommodation is offered, check whether a cabin or seat is required and whether meals are included. Request mobility assistance and any pet space before completing the booking, because these can have separate capacity limits.

Prices depend on the date, passenger mix, vehicle and ticket conditions. Compare the complete return cost and the amendment or cancellation terms. No fixed fare on this guide should replace a dated quote.
