Crossing review

Experience on this ferry

We regularly use the Kiel-Oslo ferry route to vacation with our family in the stunningly beautiful Norway. The ferry is essentially a cruise. There's plenty of entertainment on board, including excellent musicians and dancers who put on a fantastic show.

Food and beverages are available in various price ranges, from sandwiches with hot sausage or pizza to extensive buffets and even à la carte options. There are many dining options on board where live performances by artists frequently take place. The cabins are immaculately clean and comfortable.

Each cabin is equipped with a TV and a small fridge. The ferry sails very smoothly, and usually, there's no noticeable sway during the crossing. When departing from Kiel, it's enjoyable to watch from the sun deck around 6 pm as the large ferry sails under the Storebælt Bridge!

The arrival or departure through the beautiful Oslofjord can be clearly seen from the observation lounge or the sun deck. It's such a delight! As the ferry docks around 10 am, you can disembark feeling refreshed. This ferry is definitely worth its price.
