About the Steilene – Ommen crossing
0.8 nautical miles in 3 minutes. Sixteen knots between two small islands in the inner Oslofjord — the crossing is over before the wake has straightened out.
10:24, and then it depends
That sailing runs every day. 15:54 is added at weekends and 17:56 on Fridays. From Monday to Thursday the mid-morning boat is the only one there is.
Friday has the latest sailing of the week
Five to six in the evening, and nothing on any other day comes close to it. On an island with no shop and no road, the difference between a 15:54 and a 17:56 is the difference between an afternoon and an evening.
7 August to 4 October 2026
Eight weeks, and then nothing listed. Steilene also connects to Fjellstrand on the mainland shore, on the same short season.

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.
