Car ferry Bognes-Lødingen

2 stopsNordlandNORLive

Car ferry Bognes-Lødingen has 23 departures per weekday each way. First departure 01:00, last departure 23:30, crossing time approx. 60 min. Timetables updated 18 August 2026.

Car ferry between Lødingen ferjekai and Bognes ferjekai with 2 stops in Nordland. Travel time approx. 60 minutes. Departures Mon-Fri + Sat + Sun.

The Bognes–Lødingen ferry crosses Vestfjorden itself, in open water with the Lofoten Wall on the horizon. It ties the E6 on the Hamarøy side to the E10 heading into the islands, and for drivers arriving from the north it is the natural road out to Lofoten and Vesterålen. The crossing is long enough to leave the car behind and watch the sea — this is a voyage, not a stretch of road.

Practical information

Towards Lofoten: From Lødingen you soon reach the E10, which carries you west towards Svolvær or north through Vesterålen.

Weather matters: Vestfjorden lies open to the sea, and a stiff wind makes itself felt — check the cancellation notices on this page before driving far to catch a departure.

Two berths at Bognes: The same quay also serves the Tysfjorden crossing to Skarberget on the E6 — join the lane signed for your destination.
