The Hurtigruten-ships are a great way to get to Vardoe and their ships will dock directely in the centre of Vardoe.
Hurtigruten is NOT a real cruise-line but rather a post-ship with cabins.In both directions the ships will stop there, but only during the southbound voyage you have enough time to explore this interesting village. The ship will open the gangway for passengers to go ashore and they will also start to unload and load all sorts of goods, cars, different articles from small boxes to giant machineries. In case that you like to see more of the places closeby, you have to book one of their excursions and join the ship again at the next port.
Cars can be taken onboard of a Hurtigruten-ship, when they are not higher than 2,5 meters and not wider than 2,45 meters.
--------------------------------------------------------
Every day 2 Hurtigruten-ships will come to Vardoe:
The NORTHbound ship will dock only for 15 minutes around 04.15am
and the SOUTHbound ship will stay there between 04.00pm and 05.00pm,
these 60 minutes are enough in order to see what is shown in this page !

You probably can get to Vardø by boat as well, as I came by car, I only used the local boat to get to the little island of Hornøy.

If you travel to Vardø by car you have to drive the 2890 meter long tunnel located 88 meters under sea level !! You can also travel by ship as the town of Vardø is located on a island.
