About the Kongshus kai – Kvalfjord kai crossing
08:45, four days a week, and nothing on Monday or at the weekend. The boat covers 13.3 nautical miles in 45 minutes along the Finnmark coast west of Alta.
A week that starts on Tuesday
Skipping Monday is unusual and generally reflects a rotation: the vessel is working elsewhere at the start of the week. For a passenger the effect is a four-day window rather than five.
Forty-five minutes for thirteen miles
Seventeen knots is moderate for a combined passenger and goods boat, which on this coast commonly calls at more than one landing on a run.
Current plan
The sailing is listed from 1 June to 31 December 2026. With one departure on four days, the return has to be planned alongside the outbound rather than after it.
