About the Slemmestad brygge – Aker brygge crossing
Two departures, both in the late afternoon, both weekdays only. The boat leaves Slemmestad at 15:49 and 16:59, running Monday to Friday and taking 28 minutes to reach Aker Brygge in central Oslo across about 10 nautical miles of fjord.
Ten miles in under half an hour
That works out above twenty knots, which is what makes the service competitive: the road route around the fjord is slower at peak, and the boat lands in the centre of the city rather than at its edge. Speed is the whole argument for this crossing.
Afternoon departures in this direction
Both sailings sit between four and five in the afternoon — which is the return leg of a commuting day, not the outbound one. The morning traffic runs the other way, and this page lists only what leaves Slemmestad.
No weekend service
Nothing runs on Saturdays or Sundays. Fjord boats of this kind are contracted as public transport rather than as excursions, and the contract follows the working week. The current plan runs to 11 December 2026.

How much does a ticket cost?

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 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 Ruter, 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.
