Car
The port of Härnösand is optimally connected via the E4 European route, which passes directly by the port area and allows for a convenient journey from the DACH region. Both short-term and secure long-term parking spaces are available in the immediate vicinity of the port and in the city center. It is advisable to check the current parking capacities on the city's booking portals, especially during the peak season.

Travelers can easily reach Härnösand by train via the centrally located Härnösand tågstation, which is served by the Swedish railway companies SJ and Norrtåg. The cruise port is only about a 15-minute walk from the station. Alternatively, local taxi services and bus connections ensure a quick and uncomplicated transfer directly to the terminal.
Airplane
The nearest airport is Sundsvall-Härnösand Airport (SDL), located approximately 28 to 33 kilometers from the port. There are good transfer options from SDL airport to the port, preferably by taxi, which completes the journey in about 30 minutes. For guests from the DACH region, a flight via Stockholm-Arlanda (ARN) is usually required, from where connecting flights to SDL take about one hour. Due to the longer journey, an overnight stay in Härnösand the day before embarkation is recommended.
Check-in & Embarkation
Please note that you will usually receive a fixed time slot for check-in with your travel documents, which is binding for your embarkation. Plan sufficient time for the journey to the port accordingly and take into account that the latest embarkation time - depending on the cruise line and destination - is usually scheduled about one hour before the planned departure.
Also during the voyage: For shore excursions, you should be back on board at least one hour before departure. Always pay attention to the current announcements as well as the notices on board, as mooring and departure times can change at short notice.
