Check first

What can stop this crossing working

  • The travel card does not cover special event trips, including Ovastevna on Nólsoy, which SSL names explicitly.
  • Sailings are adjusted around holidays and around St. Olaf's Days at the end of July.

Boarding

Turning up and getting on

  • Travellers must arrive at least 10 minutes before departure and present a valid ticket when boarding.

For visitors

Getting to and from the berth

  • This is the lowest-effort island day trip in the country: the berth is in Tórshavn itself, a walk from the bus terminal.
  • It is covered by the Tourist Travel Card, unlike the Mykines crossing.
