About the Vandve ferjekai – Solfjellsjøen ferjekai crossing
Nine departures and not one runs every day. Four are weekdays only — 07:05, 10:55, 15:05, 19:55; the other five split across four more patterns.
17:20 and 17:40, twenty minutes apart
The first is Saturday only, the second Friday only. Neither ever shares a day with the other, which makes them one late-afternoon service split across two days rather than two sailings.
Sunday gets two
13:30, which covers Thursday to Sunday, and 16:20, which covers Friday to Sunday. A Monday has four, a Friday seven, and a Sunday two — both of those in the afternoon.
Six knots over 4.7 nautical miles
50 minutes off the Dønna coast, which at that pace means a call between the ends. The return leg mirrors this one almost exactly — nine departures on the same five calendars. Listed to 31 January 2027.

Does the ferry run all year?
Sailings run daily, 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.
