What is the latest time I have to check in for the ferry Kristiansand-Hirtshals?
You must check in at the port of Kristiansand at least 60 minutes before departure. However, you should plan a little more time for check-in. Especially during the vacation season and on public holidays, the port can get crowded and check-in can take a little longer.
What happens if I am not at the port in time?
That can happen, of course. The Color Line and Fjord Line ferries will not wait for you, however, as the timetables must be adhered to. If you have purchased a flexible ticket, you can simply use the next available ferry. However, if you have a ferry ticket that is fixed for a specific departure, you will have to buy a new ticket at the port and wait for the next available ferry. We therefore recommend booking a flexible ticket and having less stress on arrival.
