Timetable and season of the Tromso to Svolvaer ferry

Daily (southbound, leaves about 1:30 am) - that is how often the ferry from Tromso to Svolvaer runs, with more departures in summer and fewer, sometimes weather-dependent, in winter. Allow about 17 hours at sea plus check-in at the port. Timetables change between seasons, so we send the exact departures for the date you travel rather than a list that may be out of date.

If a sailing is cancelled by the ferry company for weather, you are rebooked on the next available or refunded; our WhatsApp desk handles that for you on the day.

Departure: Tromsø coastal-express quay (Prostneset)

The ferry from Tromso to Svolvaer leaves from Tromsø coastal-express quay (Prostneset), in Tromso - Tromsø is the Arctic capital of Norway, the base for the northern lights, the midnight sun and the Fjellheisen cable car. Foot passengers should be at the port 45 to 60 minutes before departure, earlier on international crossings where passports are checked. Getting there: 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 public transport is infrequent.

• Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Tromsø coastal-express quay (Prostneset); some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
• Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from your accommodation in Tromso to the port on request
• Just ask which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
• Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure

You step off at Svolvær, Lofoten. Taxis and buses meet the boats. If you would rather not think about it, we book a driver to meet the ferry and take you to the door of your hotel.

Many passengers continue from Svolvaer to another island or city. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

How much does the ferry from Tromso to Svolvaer cost?

Ferry prices from Tromso to Svolvaer 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 verify the fare for the day you want to sail and send it by WhatsApp before you decide.

The figure we send is the total: passengers, seats or cabin and port fees. If a slower sailing an hour later is cheaper, we say so; on this route the conventional ferry is often the best value for a family.
