About the crossing
If you are driving from Tromsø towards the North Cape, this ferry saves you the long drive around the Lyngen Alps. On the other side you take a second ferry across the Lyngenfjord, from Lyngseidet to Olderdalen, so drive straight to Lyngseidet after arriving in Svensby and check the timetables of both ferries. You cannot book this ferry, but it runs several times a day. On Fridays and Sundays many people from Tromsø travel to or from their cabins and the boat can be full; if you don't get on, wait for the next one. If you want to stay a night on the other side, look at the places we have pinned in the guide – there are very good spots for chasing the Northern Lights and for hiking.
Fishing from the ferry pier can be rewarding: we caught some medium-sized cod and pollock last time we had to wait for half an hour. Give it a try.
Vehicles pay through AutoPASS for ferries, which registers your vehicle as it drives on board. Svipper, the public transport of Troms county, lists prices and payment options on its website.
