About the Rådhusbrygge 3 – Dronningen crossing
Twenty-seven departures, all of them between nine in the morning and six in the evening. This is a daylight service and makes no pretence otherwise: the first boat leaves Rådhusbrygge 3 at 09:10, the last at 17:50, and the crossing takes 13 minutes over barely more than a nautical mile of the inner Oslofjord.
A museum shuttle in ferry form
Dronningen sits on the Bygdøy peninsula, within walking distance of the peninsula’s museums, and the timetable is built around opening hours rather than commuting. That is why the service starts late and stops early — nobody uses this boat to get to work, and the schedule does not pretend they do.
Frequency is the point
Twenty-seven sailings across roughly nine hours works out at a boat every twenty minutes or so, every day of the week with no weekday-versus-weekend split. For a crossing this short that is close to turn-up-and-go, which is the intended experience.
How long the plan runs
The current timetable is dated from 13 March 2026. Oslofjord passenger services of this kind are seasonal in practice even when the published plan is long — winter frequencies on the Bygdøy run are historically thinner than the summer ones shown here.

What's the luggage allowance?
