Distances in Norway are deceptive on the map. A group travelling by coach or in several vehicles must plan stops and ferries. Viking Days does not operate vehicles.
Distances and ferries
Road routes between major cities often exceed what a map suggests (data from Statens vegvesen / official route planner: https://www.vegvesen.no/). Many journeys include car ferries that are part of the network. Some are short; others (such as Bodø–Moskenes) take several hours and depend on the weather (operator conditions).
Decision tool — margin checklist
Have an air or overnight plan B if the sea closes.
Check road conditions on vegvesen.no the day before.
Restrictions
Weather may close mountain passes or cancel ferries. Transport providers quote and contract.
Not a fit for: groups that intend to cover Oslo–Lofoten by road in a single day.
Conclusion
Add generous margins and check the official route planner. Coordinate transport providers.
