From the city centre, the ferry harbour has routes to [[Hirtshals]] ([[Denmark]]) operated by both [[Color Line (ferry operator)|Color Line]] and [[Fjord Line]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Kristiansand Port |url=http://kristiansandhavn.no/Forside?sc_lang=en |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120725063845/http://kristiansandhavn.no/Forside?sc_lang=en |archive-date=25 July 2012 |access-date=21 February 2012}}</ref> Color Line operates their [[MS Superspeed 1|MS ''Superspeed 1'']], which entered into service in 2008 and spends approximately 3 hours and 15 minutes on the crossing. The route operates year-round with two crossings each way in one day. Fjord Line operates [[HSC Fjord Cat|HSC ''Fjord Cat'']], which is a high-speed [[catamaran]] covering the route in around 2 hours and 15 minutes. The ship was built between 1997 and 1998, and has sailed under several different operators on many different routes. It only operates during the high season in the summer.

A new catamaran built by Australian shipbuilding company [[Austal]] will enter service at the start of summer 2020 and replace ''Fjord Cat''. The new ship should double the capacity, while retaining the same travel duration of 2 hours and 15 minutes. Fjord Line also aims for the new ship to address complaints with seaworthiness and stability from its predecessor.

On 7 April 2022, a direct cruise-ferry service began with [[Eemshaven]], Netherlands, operated by startup company [[Holland Norway Lines]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=1 November 2021 |title=Charter of Romantika |url=https://view.news.eu.nasdaq.com/view?id=bb1848ae79937c8b3cbfe10454bd4ee5c&lang=en&fbclid=IwAR2xTJNps_nuX7-8nh6Ekz_0dMtP-uNycA1395ZjsBfv-QzRBwVPWzH3cKc |access-date=1 November 2021 |work=NASDAQ}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=1 November 2021 |title=Eemshaven krijgt vaste veerverbinding met Noorwegen |url=https://www.rtvnoord.nl/nieuws/865103/eemshaven-krijgt-vaste-veerverbinding-met-noorwegen |access-date=1 November 2021 |work=RTV Noord}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=1 November 2021 |title=Holland Norway Lines charters Tallink Grupp's ROMANTIKA for Norway-Netherland's service |url=https://www.shippax.com/en/news/holland-norway-lines-charters-tallink-grupps-romantika-for-norway-netherlands-service.aspx |access-date=1 November 2021 |work=Shippax}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=1 November 2021 |title=Holland Norway Line main page |url=https://hollandnorwaylines.com/ |access-date=1 November 2021 |work=Holland Norway line |archive-date=18 November 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211118023838/https://hollandnorwaylines.com/ |url-status=usurped }}</ref>
