The Port of Narvik

Port of Narvik

Welcome to Narvik - A peninsula surrounded by fjords and mountains. Narvik is so much more than just beautiful nature!

The Port of Narvik is central in the development of Narvik as a national and international transport and logistics centre. The harbour is ice-free all year round and well protected from wind and adverse weather.

Narvik is the largest port in the Barents Region shipping more than 23 million tonnes through our facilities annually. In 2005, the Port of Narvik was given status as a “Motorways of the Sea” by the EU.

Narvik and Ofotbanen are also on the TEN-T CORE Network, which is regarded as the main railway network for transport within the EU.

RAIL Narvik is the only city in Northern Norway (north of Bodø) with a railway connection. On-dock rail connects with the international network through Sweden linking us to southern Scandinavia and central Europe, as well as The Baltics and Asia. 10 iron-ore trains, 3 cargo trains and 2 passenger trains arrive and depart from Narvik daily. ROAD Narvik is a junction for the national and regional road network, with the E6 running north to south and the E10 running east to west, with fish being the major product exported. The road connection west (Lofoten/Vesterålen) and north (Troms) is now 20km shorter due to the new Hålogaland Bridge crossing the Ofot Fjord.

AIR Narvik’s regional airport is Harstad/ Narvik Evenes and it is only one of three wide body airports in Norway with the capacity to take down any size plane. There are approx. 15 daily arrivals/ departures of passenger planes from Evenes as well as cargo and military traffic.

Cruise Port Narvik

Narvik as a cruise destination has grown steadily over the last 10 years.

With the new developments such as a new cruise pier and the increased number of excursion possibilities, we are renewing ourselves. The new cruise pier is located 400 metres from the town centre. It is 150 metres long and can without problems accommodate ships of up to 350 metres in length.

TURNAROUND Another goal is to attract more turnaround operations and it is our pleasure to introduce this new turnaround concept for cruising in Arctic waters under the Midnight Sun or the Northern Lights. This is a truly unique opportunity to see this part of the world from a different perspective. Rural, rugged with wild nature and fauna. The colour spectre of the Arctic light reflected in the fjords, mountains and glaciers along this route gives this cruise an exceptional setting. The Port of Narvik is only 40 minutes from Harstad/Narvik Evenes regional airport. Narvik also has the infrastructure on the quayside to handle the busses and the people. In combination with excursions we believe this offers a unique opportunity to explore our region.

THE VISION OF CRUISE PORT NARVIK To be an attractive destination To be an exciting destination To be a different destination
