Please share any cost effective options to travel from Kirkenis to Lofoten. All flights seem to go through Oslo.
Southbound Hurtigruten is not an option as it is sold out.
Thanks,
Hema

Have you checked both Havila and Hurtigurten? The Hurtigurten route is now contracted to both companies alternating schedules. The Havila line uses three identical, beautiful, new ships. Otherwise you’re pretty much stuck connecting through Oslo.

Hurtigruten and Havila drive same route (Hurtigrute) on different days.
Otherwise you’re pretty much stuck connecting through Oslo.
No.
You can fly via Tromsø to Evenes Narvik (EVE), see map of Wideroe. From there rental car which you later drop-off there to fly-out via Oslo.
A different option is Kirkenes via Tromsø to Bodø and then ferry to Lofoten.
If you want to explore Andoya and do whale watching fly directly to Andenes from Tromsø. After this you travel as pedestrian (no cabin) to Svolvær by embarking a Havila / Hurtigruten ship from Risoyhamn (taxi / bus from Andenes) which is a very beautiful leg including Trollfjord.
