Arriving late? We note your arrival and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the ferry, so a delay costs you nothing.

Best time to take the ferry from Tromso to Honningsvag

The ferry from Tromso to Honningsvag runs all year on most operators, but not equally: summer brings the most sailings and the highest fares, shoulder months the best balance, winter a reduced service. Whatever the month, booking early is the single biggest saving, especially with a car or a cabin.

Ferry or flight from Tromso to Honningsvag?

For most travellers on this route the ferry is the better way: it leaves from the port in Tromso and lands you in Honningsvag itself, carries as much luggage as you can wheel, and turns the journey into part of the holiday. A flight only wins when the crossing is long and time is short. Haqqi Tours offers flights too, and says honestly which is better for your dates.

Return ferry from Honningsvag to Tromso

The Honningsvag to Tromso ferry is the same crossing in reverse, about 16 hours 30 minutes. Haqqi Tours provides the return ticket in the same conversation; if the return date is not fixed, an open return on the same operator keeps it flexible.

How much does the ferry from Tromso to Honningsvag cost?

Ferry prices from Tromso to Honningsvag 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 look up the fare for the day you want to sail and send it in the WhatsApp chat before you decide.

Ask us 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 Tromso to Honningsvag ferry.

Timetable and season of the Tromso to Honningsvag ferry

Sailing times on the Tromso to Honningsvag route depend on the shipping line and the month - as a rule daily (northbound). Morning departures are typically the calmest and the most reliable; the last sailing of the day is the one to avoid if you have an onward connection. We choose the sailing to fit your plan and tell you the check-in time at Tromsø coastal-express quay (Prostneset).

Sea conditions matter on this route: strong winds can delay or cancel high-speed boats while the conventional ferries keep sailing. When the forecast is poor we tell you and, if you prefer, book the steadier vessel.

Departure: Tromsø coastal-express quay (Prostneset)

Your crossing starts at Tromsø coastal-express quay (Prostneset). Large ports have several gates and the boarding gate is announced on the boards and on the ticket; we send the gate and the check-in time with your confirmation. The airport bus reaches the centre in about 15 minutes and suits a city hotel; a private car is easier for a late arrival, for winter luggage and for fjord and island destinations such as Kvaløya, Sommarøy, the Lyngen Alps or Kilpisjärvi, where metro, tram or bus is infrequent.

• Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure
• Keep the electronic ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together
• Luggage is carried free within the ferry company's limits; large bags go on the racks or the car deck
• Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Tromsø coastal-express quay (Prostneset); some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
