About the Meløysund ferjekai – Vassdalsvik ferjekai crossing
No departure on this route runs every day. Three go on Saturdays from 08:15, three on Sundays from 10:00, two Monday to Friday from 06:30, and the remaining four sit on single or paired days: 20:00 Thursdays, 08:10 Fridays, 18:05 Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays, 15:45 every day but Saturday.
The weekend is the busiest part
Six of the twelve fall on Saturday or Sunday. That inverts the usual shape, where weekend service is the remainder rather than the bulk.
Fifteen minutes, under two miles
The crossing covers 1.7 nautical miles in Nordland. Short water, complicated calendar — the reverse of what most travellers assume about small ferries.

Sailings run daily, 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?
Nordland fylkeskommune 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 Nordland fylkeskommune, 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.
