Ferries to HärnösandMini Cruise to Härnösand
Want to explore northern Sweden and the incredible Höga kusten region? Book a mini cruise to Härnösand and embark on a unique holiday!
Härnösand is a small town with an interesting history: it was the first Swedish town to be equipped with electricity. Today, it is best known for being the gateway to the Höga kusten, literally the 'high coast', a very special and picturesque geographical region.
The port of Härnösand does not receive passenger ferries, it is mainly a transit port for fishing boats and small and medium-sized vessels. However, thanks to its strategic location within an area of incredible natural beauty, it is an ideal destination for cruises departing from Stockholm.
Viking Line offers a series of mini-cruises that take advantage of the long days of the summer months to take you on a discovery journey of this beautiful region. There is one departure in April, two in May, two in June and four in September. The itinerary is pre-arranged and the whole trip must be booked; it is not possible to board in Härnösand. Pets are not allowed on this trip.
