Last ferry from the islands

Many people travel to and from Hovedøya, Lindøya, Bleikøya, Langøyene, Nakkholmen and Gressholmen on fine summer days. If the last scheduled ferry is full and there isn't enough space on board, it will return to make sure everyone gets back to the city. Please remember to be at the pier in time for the scheduled departure.

Other companies' travel guarantees

If you are travelling with other companies, Ruter's travel guarantee does not apply.
