NORRÖNA to Oslo with nearly 1 in 50 of the Faroese citizens

FerryFaroese Smyril Line is offering a special cruise from Tórshavn to Oslo using its large RoPax vessel NORRÖNA, which normally operates between the Faroe Islands, Iceland, and Denmark. This special six-day voyage is being organized in connection with the Norwegian capital’s role as host for part of the group stage (the preliminary round) of the 2026 European Men’s Handball Championship from 15 to 20 January 2026.

NORRÖNA, which has capacity for 1,482 passengers, will depart Tórshavn on 14 January and arrive in Oslo on the morning of 16 January. The ferry will then serve as a base and hotel for Faroese supporters while docked at Akershuskaia, Oslo’s most centrally located cruise pier, until the return voyage to the North Atlantic departs at midnight on 20 January.

Smyril Line told the Norwegian news agency NTB that all 1,000 places allocated for the handball voyage are sold out - meaning that nearly 1 in 50 Faroese citizens will be on board.
