Paying for this boat

How fares work

Nordland fylkeskommune: Nordland's express boats charge a per-person fare: buy it in the Reis Nordland app or on board by card (the Reinefjord boat no longer takes cash). Some quiet winter departures only run when booked ahead by phone — the Reinefjord boat needs this in weeks 42–52 and 1–11.
