About the Geiranger ferjekai – Ålesund kystrutekai crossing
Geiranger is a summer-only port on the Norwegian coastal route. Hurtigruten runs Bergen to Kirkenes daily all year, calling at 34 ports northbound, but the detour up the Geirangerfjord is made in the warm months alone. Our listing covers 29 July to 29 August 2026.
Four and a quarter hours down the fjord
The sailing leaves at 14:45 every day within that window and takes 255 minutes to reach Ålesund, covering 36.9 nautical miles. Most of that time is spent inside the Geirangerfjord and Storfjorden rather than on open water.
Not a ferry in the ordinary sense
This is a leg of a working coastal liner that carries passengers, freight and mail along the whole Norwegian seaboard. Booking a single segment is possible, but the ship is not timetabled around this pairing — it arrives when the route brings it.
After 29 August
Once the summer call ends, Geiranger is reached by road, by excursion boat or by the Linge to Eidsdal ferry on the scenic route — and that road itself closes for the winter above Langvatnet.
