About the Brennsund hurtigbåtkai – Bodø hurtigbåtkai crossing
Bodø is connected to Brennsund by a Nordland fylkeskommune car ferry service that completes the 25 nautical mile crossing in 1 hour. Three sailings are scheduled every day, with the first departure from Brennsund at 12:05 and the final one at 16:15. This route operates across the Vestfjorden on the Norwegian Sea.
As this is a domestic Norwegian ferry, pricing is integrated into the AutoPASS system for vehicles, based on length. The crossing provides a direct link to the mainland city of Bodø from the Steigen archipelago, removing the need for the much longer road journey via the E6 highway.

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.
