About the crossing
Ferry connection between Vesterålen and Lofoten. Until the E10 Lofast road opened in December 2007, Lofoten had no road link to the mainland. You can choose: either take the ferry as a shortcut, or drive all the way round on the E10. The E10 passes very impressive scenery and is an amazing drive, but it takes much longer. If you come from Andenes, the ferry can save you a lot of driving if you catch it without waiting.
If you are coming or going to Tromsø we recommend taking the ferry when you are coming from the north and take the E10 back when you come from the south.
You cannot book this ferry; vehicles pay through AutoPASS for ferries, which registers the number plate as you drive on board. You find the timetable here.
