About the Finnsnes kai – Harstad hurtigbåtkai crossing
21:45 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays; 21:20 at weekends. Both sailings leave after nine at night and cover 40 nautical miles in 80 minutes — thirty knots along the Troms coast in the dark for much of the year.
A long run for an express boat
Forty miles is well beyond the usual reach of these craft, most of which work hops of ten or fifteen. The distance is what makes the eighty minutes remarkable rather than slow.
Late departures only
Nothing runs earlier in the day on this pairing. The service is the last connection of the evening rather than a way of travelling between the two towns during it.
Current plan
The listed departures run to 27 December 2026. Monday and Wednesday carry nothing, so the week splits into two halves with a gap in the middle.

How much does a ticket cost?
On most Norwegian road-network ferries, foot passengers and cyclists travel free; cars and larger vehicles are charged automatically via AutoPASS by vehicle length and crossing, so there is no single ticket price. Register an AutoPASS ferry account in advance for a discount, and check Svipper for the current tariff.
Can I do this as a day trip?
A day trip is often possible: with a crossing of about 1h 20m and several sailings a day (first 21:20, last 21:45), you can return the same day. Always check the return timetable before you go.
Does the ferry run all year?
Sailings operate on selected days, and frequency can change between the summer and winter seasons. The timetable above shows the latest published departures — confirm with the operator for off-season dates.
Can I take a car on this ferry?
Svipper does not list vehicle space on this service — plan to travel as a foot passenger. If you need to bring a car, check with the operator for alternative crossings.
Can I take a pet on this ferry?
Most ferry operators allow pets on this route, usually in a carrier, on deck or in designated pet areas or cabins, and registered assistance dogs travel free. Rules and any fees vary by operator and vessel — check with Svipper, so declare your pet when booking.
What's the luggage allowance?
Foot passengers can normally bring their own luggage aboard at no extra charge, with racks or a luggage area near the entrance, and there is usually no airline-style weight limit. Oversized or excess items may carry a fee, so check with the operator if you are travelling with bulky baggage.
