Narvik, an impressive port in Northern Norway, is accessible to cruise passengers from the DACH region via various routes. Due to its geographical location, arrival often requires a bit more planning, but is rewarded with spectacular fjord landscapes.
Car
The European route E6 leads directly to Narvik and is the main traffic artery for traveling by car. Coming from the south, the E6 offers a picturesque drive through the Norwegian countryside. In Narvik itself, parking options are available at the port or in its immediate vicinity, although the availability and conditions for long-term parking spaces specifically for cruise passengers should be checked in advance. The city center and the port area are well signposted.
Train
Narvik Station is the terminus of the famous Ofoten Line, which offers a direct connection to Kiruna in Sweden and from there further into the European rail network. For travelers from the DACH region, traveling by train therefore often involves a transfer in Sweden. From Narvik Station, the cruise terminal can be reached on foot in about 10-15 minutes. A taxi or public buses also provide convenient transfer options.
Airplane
The nearest airport is Harstad/Narvik Airport Evenes (EVE), located about 75 kilometers from Narvik. This airport is served directly from various Norwegian cities, including Oslo. From there, regular bus connections (e.g., the Flybussen) operate to Narvik, taking about 1 hour and 15 minutes of travel time. Taxis are also available, though booking in advance is recommended. Due to the travel time and potential flight delays, arriving the day before embarkation and staying overnight in Narvik is recommended to start the cruise in a relaxed manner.
Check-in & Embarkation
Please note that you will generally receive a fixed check-in time slot with your travel documents, which is binding for your embarkation. Plan sufficient time for your 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.
The same applies during the journey: during shore excursions, you should be back on board no later than 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.
