Ferry and express boat timetables to Lofoten

When you travel through Northern Norway, you are often reliant on boat transportation to reach all the gems along the way. You can travel to the Lofoten Islands by ferry or express boat from the north or south. In 2012 four new gas-powered ferries were stationed on the routes Bodø – Værøy – Røst – Moskenes and Bognes – Lødingen. This provides extra vehicle space and a comfortable voyage.

Express boats

The express boat service from Bodø to Svolvær is a fantastic way to travel to Lofoten – all year round. This scenic voyage takes you between islands and skerries along the coast and has several ports of call in both Hamarøy and Steigen. The express boat does not have a vehicle deck, but you may bring your bike. However, it’s a good idea to arrange this in advance. Bodø - Svolvær (Nordlandsekspressen) 3 - 4 hours (depending on route)
