Ferry or flight from Stavanger to Haugesund?
Weighing a flight against the ferry from Stavanger to Haugesund? Add the airport time at both ends and the transfer from the arrival airport, and the ferry is often as fast door to door - about 1 hour 20 minutes at sea and typically cheaper, with no baggage fees. We book whichever suits you.

Round-trip fares and open returns are cheaper on many operators, so booking both directions together saves money. Let us know the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.
How much does the ferry from Stavanger to Haugesund cost?
Ferry prices from Stavanger to Haugesund move with the season and the vessel: the same crossing can cost a fraction on the conventional ferry in April of what the high-speed boat costs on an August weekend. Rather than quote a figure that will be wrong next week, we check the fare for the day you want to sail and send it by WhatsApp before you decide.
Just ask for two or three sailings and we send the cost of each - fast boat and slow boat, morning and afternoon - so you can see the difference before you book the Stavanger to Haugesund ferry.
Cheapest ferry ticket from Stavanger to Haugesund: how to pay less
The cheapest ferry ticket from Stavanger to Haugesund is normally on the conventional ferry, booked early, on a weekday outside the peak weeks. These are the rules our booking desk applies:
- Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date
- Travel light - some fast boats limit luggage per passenger
- Book the return with the outbound - open returns and round-trip fares are cheaper on many operators
- Ask about children's, student and resident fares, and about vehicle offers outside high season
- Choose the conventional ferry over the high-speed boat when time allows - it is cheaper, steadier and frequently more scenic
- Book early for July, August, Easter and holiday weekends, when sailings sell out and fares rise
When you complete the form, say if you can move your dates. We compare the sailings around them and send the cheapest Stavanger to Haugesund ferry first, then the alternatives.
