About the Oscarsborg østre kai – Sundbrygga crossing
Twenty-four departures, and the last one leaves at 23:45. That is a very different service from the Drøbak crossing listed elsewhere, which has six sailings and stops at four in the afternoon. The two use different quays on the mainland side, and confusing them will cost you an evening.
Five minutes across
The passage covers about 0.6 nautical miles in 5 minutes. Sixteen departures run every day between 08:15 and 19:45; three more run Monday to Saturday from 21:45 through to 23:45, two run Monday to Friday from 07:30, and single sailings sit on Saturday at 07:35, Sunday at 21:15 and the weekend at 09:45.
The evening sailings are the real difference
Three departures run after nine at night, Monday to Saturday, and a fourth at 21:15 covers Sunday. Nothing in the Drøbak listing comes close to that. If you are leaving the island after dark, this is the timetable that applies — and Sunday is the night with the earliest cut-off.
Current plan
The listed departures run to 26 December 2026. Check which mainland quay your return uses — the two services are operated together but timetabled separately.
Vehicles, pets & onboard
- QR ticket shown at the gangway
- Ticket valid seven days including the return
- Museums, concerts and outdoor opera on the island
- Cafés and restaurant
Onboard facilities and vehicle, pet and luggage policies vary by operator and vessel; confirm details with the operator before booking.

How much does a ticket cost?

Can I do this as a day trip?
A day trip is often possible: with a crossing of about 5m and several sailings a day (first 07:30, last 23:45), you can return the same day. Always check the return timetable before you go.
Does the ferry run all year?
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?
Forsvarsbygg Oscarsborgfergen 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 Forsvarsbygg Oscarsborgfergen, 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.
