Your destination

About Tromsø

Tromsø has no car ferry worth planning a trip around. What it has is a fleet of fast passenger boats leaving from one quay in the middle of town, most of them carrying commuters to villages up the fjords — and one of them carrying you to Senja. Reading Tromsø as an express-boat hub rather than a ferry port is the difference between using it well and standing at the wrong terminal.
