About the Vik kai – Nordeide kai crossing
Two of the four departures on this route run on Sundays alone. They leave at 11:44 and 16:44; the other two are a Monday-to-Saturday sailing at 08:09 and a daily one at 17:10. On a Wednesday there are two boats; on a Sunday there are three.
Eighteen nautical miles in forty minutes
That works out around twenty-seven knots — express-boat pace across the Sognefjord. A car ferry covering the same water would take well over an hour, and on a route with four sailings a day the speed is what makes the timetable workable at all.
Only one departure runs every day
The 17:10 boat is the single dependable sailing here. Everything else depends on which day it is, so a journey planned around the morning departure needs checking against the calendar before anything else.
Current plan
The listed sailings run to 13 December 2026. Vestland publishes express-boat timetables in dated editions, so this four-sailing shape holds until the revision rather than shifting through the autumn.

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?
Skyss 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.

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 Skyss, 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.
