Arrival and departure information for The Coastal Express

Our arrival and departure package includes most transfers in Bergen, Kirkenes, Trondheim, and Oslo. If we cannot provide a suitable transfer, we will inform you before your journey.  

If your booking includes transfers, your travel documents contain the required vouchers that you will need to present to the bus driver.  

Transfers are usually unaccompanied and operated by a charter bus (fixed times) or an airport express bus (official schedule). The fixed times align with your ship’s arrival. Therefore, waiting times at the airport may occur.  

Transfers outside of this schedule must be arranged independently and at your own expense. If your booking doesn’t include any transfers, you can still book the transfers outlined below by contacting our Customer Service Centre. For more information, please refer to your booking confirmation. 

From the airport 

The journey from the airport to Jektevik Terminal is approximately 45 minutes. To get to the terminal, take the Flybussen (the official airport shuttle bus) from platform A5 in front of the arrivals hall.
