About the Son – Filtvet crossing
12:10 every day, plus 17:40 on Saturdays and Sundays. The crossing covers 3.6 nautical miles of the Oslofjord in 15 minutes.
The road goes the long way
Son sits on the eastern shore in Vestby; Filtvet is on the Hurum peninsula opposite. By car the trip runs north around the head of the fjord or south through the tunnel — either way it is a different order of journey from a quarter of an hour on the water.
Midday, and a weekend extra
The daily boat is a lunchtime one. The second sailing appears only on Saturday and Sunday, at twenty to six, which points at leisure traffic rather than commuting.
7 August to 4 October 2026
Eight and a half weeks. This is a summer crossing; outside the window the fjord has to be driven round.

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.
