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.
