Travelling with the coastal express boat
The coastal express boat, locally called Kystekspressen, connects Trondheim to the coastal communities outside Trondheimsfjorden, Smøla, Aure, and Kristiansund. The vessels operating on this route are built in carbon fibre, which leaves a smaller footprint.
Route 800 Trondheim – Kristiansund takes three and a half hours, and stops at seven ports between the two cities.
If you are travelling from Trondheim, the boat departs from Trondheim hurtigbåtterminal close to Rockheim, Pirbadet and Clarion Hotel & Congress. In the opposite direction, the boat departs from Kristiansund hurtigbåtterminal, located on the harbour on Kirklandet.
If you prefer to travel by bus, you can take the Mørelinjen, route 905, between Trondheim and Kristiansund. Note that on some departures you have to change to a corresponding bus during the trip. Find timetables and itinerary details with the Entur app.
Kristiansund is also a great starting point for further experiences in Fjord Norway. There are numerous daily express bus services along the coast, and you can travel within the region and from island to island on numerous ferries and express boats.
