About the Røst ferjekai – Værøy ferjekai crossing
Eight separate day patterns for nine departures. Eight calendars for nine sailings is unusual even by Nordland standards, where the Bodø–Moskenes run manages seventeen: one sailing on Tuesdays, one on Thursdays, one on Fridays, one on Mondays and Fridays, one on Tuesdays and Fridays, one Monday to Friday, one on Saturdays and two on Sundays. Only Sunday carries more than one boat.
Ninety minutes between two Lofoten outposts
The crossing covers 17.1 nautical miles in 90 minutes. Røst and Værøy are the two outermost inhabited islands of the chain, and this is the link between them rather than a mainland connection.
Why the calendar looks like this
Both islands are calls on the Bodø–Værøy–Røst–Moskenes rotation. What appears here as nine unrelated departures is the residue of a ship working a longer circuit — the pattern serves the circuit, not this pairing.
Read the day before the hour
With no departure running all week, checking the date is not a precaution but the starting point. The listed plan runs to 30 January 2027, and open Vestfjorden weather affects sailings regardless of what the timetable says.

A day trip is often possible: with a crossing of about 1h 30m and several sailings a day (first 08:30, last 20:00), you can return the same day. Always check the return timetable before you go.
Does the ferry run all year?
Sailings operate on selected days, 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.
