Best Answer

As far as I know, the "ferryman" in Nordic myth were the Valkyries They took souls to Valhalla and decided the outcomes of battles. The ferryman was Charon who took your soul across the river Styx (for a fee) in Greek mythology but there is no river as such in Nordic myth. so, to answer your question, Valkyries.
