About the Urke hurtigbåtkai – Ålesund kystrutekai crossing
15:45 every day, timetabled at 255 minutes. This is a leg of the Norwegian coastal service rather than a local ferry: the ship calls at Urke deep in the Hjørundfjord and works back out to Ålesund, 19.9 nautical miles in a little over four hours.
A summer call
The sailing is listed from 1 June to 31 October 2026. Hurtigruten adds fjord calls in the warmer months and drops them afterwards, so this is a seasonal segment of a year-round route.
Four hours for twenty miles
The time is not about speed. Most of it is spent inside the Hjørundfjord and the Storfjord system, where the ship is navigating a narrow fjord rather than running a coast.
Booking a single leg
Segments of the coastal route can be bought individually, but the ship is not timetabled around this pairing — it arrives when the wider rotation brings it, and a delay upstream moves this departure with it.

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 Havila, 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.
