Båtbuss - in english

We reserve the right that some departures may be full. In case of high/low water levels, as well as strong winds, the traffic may be changed/cancelled at short notice.

The boat buses are not covered by our delay compensation. If a trip you have booked is cancelled, you will receive an SMS with information.

For refunds, rebooking or cancellation of the trip, contact Customer Service on 0771-32 32 00.

In our Värmlandstrafik app you can buy single tickets, 24-hour tickets and season tickets (note, does not guarantee a seat on board). The ticket must be activated when boarding. On board the boat you can pay with cash or bank card.

Please note that tickets for Line 92 must be purchased in advance.

Our Boat Buses are part of the public transport system. For safety reasons, we have a limited number of passengers on board each trip and it is first on board that applies on lines 90, 91 and 94. If you do not get a seat on the trip you want, we will refer you to the next departure. Thank you for your understanding.

To be sure of getting a seat on the trip you want to travel with, you can pre-purchase a ticket on certain longer trips (applies to lines 92, 93, 96, 97 and 99). The booking page will open at the end of May.

You pay with VISA/Mastercard/Maestro. The ticket will be sent in an email to your provided email address, you then show the booking number to the boat attendant before boarding.

If you would like English guidance on tours with Swedish guidance, we recommend that you download the Visit Karlstad app and listen with your own headphones.

Bicycles and strollers cannot be taken on board line 92. Unfortunately, there are no toilets on the boat.

Line 93

On line 93, which runs from the Inner Harbour in Karlstad out to Västra Långholmen, among other places, you can travel on board with both mobility aids and wheelchairs. The boat has a stair lift. At Västra Långholmen there is then an accessible footbridge over to the southern side of the island. Two- or three-wheeled electric mopeds or scooters with handlebars, so-called walking scooters, are advised to travel on line 93. It is fine to bring folding wheelchairs, electric wheelchairs, etc.

Lines 90, 91 and 94

These boats have stairs down into the boats, and the staff will put out rails if a wheelchair is going to get into the boat. The width of the wheelchair determines whether it is possible to get down the stairs or not. If you want to travel with one of these lines, we recommend that you visit the boats at Inre hamn in Karlstad and check with the boat staff on site what opportunities there are to travel. Of course, we want as many people as possible to take a trip with the Båtbussarna, and we have had wheelchairs on board the wooden boats in Karlstad in previous years. Unfortunately, it is not possible to take mobility scooters or electric mopeds on lines 90, 91 and 94, but in that case we refer you to travel with line 93 towards Västra Långholmen. For more information about the different boats and what they look like, we refer you to the shipping company Skeppa Rederi AB, which operates the traffic on our behalf. You can read more at Skeppa.se. It is okay to bring foldable wheelchairs/rollators if space permits.
