The Tórshavn to Hirtshals crossing links Tórshavn in the Faroe Islands with Hirtshals in Denmark. This route is part of the Denmark / Faroe Islands ferry network.
For a departure from Tórshavn, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Tórshavn is the Faroe Islands call on Smyril Line’s North Atlantic network. The Norröna itinerary links the islands with Denmark and, during the Iceland sailing season, Seyðisfjörður.
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 Tórshavn departure and Hirtshals arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Tórshavn 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.
