About the Værøy ferjekai – Røst ferjekai crossing
Two departures run on Wednesdays, at 08:00 and 20:45; every other sailing is alone on its days. One goes Mondays at 19:15, one Thursdays at 10:30, one Fridays at 11:30, one on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 10:45, one on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 11:15, and one Sundays at 18:15.
Ninety minutes between two outposts
The crossing covers 17.1 nautical miles across open Vestfjorden between the two outermost inhabited islands of Lofoten. The return from Røst carries a similarly scattered calendar.
Why the pattern looks arbitrary
Both islands are calls on the Bodø–Værøy–Røst–Moskenes rotation. The timetable serves that circuit, not this pairing, which is why nine sailings can produce seven different day sets.
Current plan
The listed departures run to 31 January 2027. Weather on open Vestfjorden affects sailings here regardless of what the timetable says.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a domestic or international route?
Domestic — the whole crossing stays within Norway.
Which operator provides this service?
Nordland fylkeskommune operates this route.
What time is the first sailing?
First departure is 08:00, last is 20:45.
Can I book the return crossing too?

What's the sailing frequency per day?

How much does a ticket cost?
On most Norwegian road-network ferries, foot passengers and cyclists travel free; cars and larger vehicles are charged automatically via AutoPASS by vehicle length and crossing, so there is no single ticket price. Register an AutoPASS ferry account in advance for a discount, and check Nordland fylkeskommune for the current tariff.
Can I do this as a day trip?
A day trip is often possible: with a crossing of about 1h 30m and several sailings a day (first 08:00, last 20:45), you can return the same day. Always check the return timetable before you go.
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 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.
