• ⚠️ Attention passengers

  1st of October 2026

  Herjólfur will sail to Þorlákshöfn this afternoon, as weather and sea conditions prevent sailings to Landeyjahöfn.

  Departure from Vestmannaeyjar at 16:00 (previously scheduled for 17:00).

  Departure from Þorlákshöfn at 19:45 (previously scheduled for 20:45).

  The sailings at 18:15, 19:30, 22:00 and 23:15 are therefore cancelled.

  An update regarding tomorrow morning’s sailings will be issued at 06:00 tomorrow morning. The current forecast indicates that sailings will likely need to operate to and from Þorlákshöfn, but this will be confirmed once the latest forecast is available.

  At this time of year, sailings may be rerouted between ports, so we advise passengers against leaving vehicles at either mainland port.

  Passengers wishing to use the ferry’s sleeping facilities are reminded to bring their own bedding.

  ⚠️ Farþegar athugið

  1.október 2026

  Herjólfur siglir til Þorlákshafnar seinnipartinn í dag þar sem ófært er til Landeyjahafnar vegna veðurs og sjólags.

  Brottför frá Vestmannaeyjum kl. 16:00 (Áður ferð kl. 17:00)

  Brottför frá Þorlákshöfn kl. 19:45 (Áður ferð kl. 20:45)

  Ferðir kl. 18:15, 19:30, 22:00 og 23:15 falla því niður.

  Hvað varðar siglingar í fyrramálið verður gefin út tilkynning kl. 06:00 í fyrramálið. Spá gefur þó til kynna að sigla þurfi til/frá Þorlákshöfn en tilkynning verður gefin út þegar nýjasta spá liggur fyrir.

  Á þessum árstíma er alltaf hætta á færslu milli hafna og því ekki æskilegt að skilja eftir farartæki í annarri hvorri höfninni.

  Þeir farþegar sem ætla sér að nýta gistirými ferjunnar eru minntir á að þeir þurfa að koma með sinn eiginn búnað.
