Ferry from Bodø to Moskenes (Lofoten)
The car ferry from Bodø to Moskenes is the Lofoten gate itself: across the Vestfjord and straight into dramatic western Lofoten, with Reine and Å a short drive from the quay. Selected sailings call at the outer island communities of Værøy and Røst. In summer this is one of Norway's most sought-after ferry links — planning pays.
