About the Arnøyhamn kai – Nikkeby crossing
17:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays; 19:30 on Tuesdays and Fridays. The two sailings share Tuesday and diverge after it, so that day carries both boats and Thursday and Friday carry one each.

The crossing covers 3.9 nautical miles in northern Troms at better than twenty knots. Arnøya and Laukøya are linked by a service that also works other quays in the same week.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a domestic or international route?
Domestic — the whole crossing stays within Norway.

About 10m.
How do I get back from Nikkeby?

How many times a day does it sail?

How much does a ticket cost?
On most Norwegian road-network ferries, foot passengers and cyclists travel free; cars and larger vehicles are charged automatically via AutoPASS by vehicle length and crossing, so there is no single ticket price. Register an AutoPASS ferry account in advance for a discount, and check Svipper for the current tariff.
Can I do this as a day trip?
A day trip is often possible: with a crossing of about 10m and several sailings a day (first 17:30, last 19:30), you can return the same day. Always check the return timetable before you go.
Does the ferry run all year?
Sailings operate on selected days, and frequency can change between the summer and winter seasons. The timetable above shows the latest published departures — confirm with the operator for off-season dates.
Can I take a car on this ferry?
Svipper does not list vehicle space on this service — plan to travel as a foot passenger. If you need to bring a car, check with the operator for alternative crossings.
Can I take a pet on this ferry?
Most ferry operators allow pets on this route, usually in a carrier, on deck or in designated pet areas or cabins, and registered assistance dogs travel free. Rules and any fees vary by operator and vessel — check with Svipper, so declare your pet when booking.
What's the luggage allowance?
Foot passengers can normally bring their own luggage aboard at no extra charge, with racks or a luggage area near the entrance, and there is usually no airline-style weight limit. Oversized or excess items may carry a fee, so check with the operator if you are travelling with bulky baggage.
