Driving the FV 17 in a camper van: where to find the list of the 6 ferries and their prices?

Hi there,

New to the forum, I’m planning a trip to Norway in a camper van and want to drive the entire FV 17. Does anyone have a link where I can find the 6 ferries I’ll need to take and their costs? Thanks everyone

Hi there, in Norway, there’s pretty much a ferry at every turn—just check on maps, you can’t miss them. That said, the free crossings aren’t always on schedule! From personal experience!

Hello, Nice project covering around 600 km and then some! The answer isn’t straightforward because there are quite a few ferry crossings with different operators—some have even become free. I’d suggest checking the Norwegian websites directly, as they’re often bilingual (Norwegian/English), and using Google Translate, which works well.

For example, here’s a site: https://www.fergeruter.info/county/nordland

Just a heads-up: if you’re planning to go in the summer, expect long waits due to high traffic. Make sure to factor that into your schedule, along with finding overnight spots.

If you get an Autopass badge or something similar, you’ll qualify for discounts on the paid crossings.

The total cost of ferries will depend on the length of your camper van. For us, with a 6-meter van, it wasn’t too expensive (4 times route 17). The idea that ferries will break the bank is a bit of a myth—though many roads in Norway are toll roads, so keep that in mind too.

You can also check out the "Statens Vegvesen" site: https://www.vegvesen.no/, which is really well done for all road info and real-time updates (or the app: *Vegvesentrafikk*). It has all the ferry details you’ll need.

Safe travels!

hi there okay, thanks for the info

There’s a site with all the info on the RV17: https://kystriksveien.no/travel-guide/?lang=en

On pages 2 and 3, you’ll find the map of all the ferries. Happy planning!
