In the revised state budget for 2022, the Norwegian government has set aside NOK 59 million for free travel on ferry connections that had less than 100,000 passengers in 2019. This means that from 1 July 2022, several ferry connections became free to use. However, as it was up to the individual county municipalities to distribute the use of funds between their own ferry connections, it means that some did not become free despite low passenger numbers.
From 16 August 2023, more ferry connections will be free of charge.
Below is a list of connections that have been confirmed for free travel. If your ferry connection is not on the list, it is not currently approved. We will update the list continuously.
