Norwegian ferry fares & AutoPASS discounts 2026
Norwegian ferry fares follow fixed rate systems. The price is set by vehicle length (rate group) and the connection's rate zone – and an AutoPASS agreement gives a large discount. Every fact on this page carries a source link with its read date.
How Norwegian coastal transport is priced
National-road and most county-road ferries use AutoPASS for ferry with a common rate regulation. Express boats are priced by the county authorities through their own ticketing systems. Commercial routes like the coastal voyage (Hurtigruten/Havila) set their own fares.
Exceptions: some connections in Trøndelag and the Moss–Horten crossing (Bastø Fosen) are outside AutoPASS for ferry and run their own schemes.
