About the Solfjellsjøen ferjekaiVandve ferjekai crossing

4.7 nautical miles, and the timetable allows 50 minutes. Under six knots. On the Dønna coast that arithmetic means a call at another quay in between rather than a slow vessel.

Nine departures, five calendars

Four are weekday-only: 06:10, 10:00, 14:10, 19:00. Two are Saturday: 08:50 and 16:25. The 12:25 covers Thursday to Sunday, the 15:25 Friday to Sunday, and the 16:45 is Friday alone.

Friday has seven, Sunday two

Add them by day and Friday collects everything except the Saturday pair. Sunday gets the 12:25 and the 15:25, and the last of those leaves in the middle of the afternoon.

Listed to 31 January 2027

Vandve is a small island community off Dønna with no road connection. The evening 19:00 exists only on weekdays, which shapes what a weekend visit has to look like.

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.
