sunny days there
I can't wait to have this experience!!
Thank you, Pål!!
You are welcome 🙏 🤗
This was absolutely amazing Pål 👏🏻 So much information put together in a really great package. The amount of b-roll to complement the story and to give a good visual impression is not only on point, but so well done. I'm once again sitting here, behind my desk and taking notes. Great production... And I make sure to spread the word about your guiding stuff. Cheers 🇳🇴🎥
Thanks a lot Thomas! As always nice to hear from you, and glad you enjoyed the episode :D
Thank you Pal for this video and detailed information. I have added Kopenhagen in my plan.
Great Video Pål. We remember the trip on the ferry in 2018 and your video brings back a lot of memories. Thanks again
Thanks Doug! Glad it could bring back some memories
Dude!!! Such a brilliant idea to do the ferry home. Both Hanna and I were glued to the screen. You really are very good at painting a good picture and your dialogue and voiceovers are so easy on the ear. That ferry trip looked so good, and the views of Oslo and the approaches in the morning were fantastic. So good to see both of you on screen. You were very diligent in showing all the accommodation options, not just the top class option which we appreciate because we would certainly not be able to afford the better suite.
Wonderful to see Pål, well done.
Hei Tamas! Thanks a lot for your very nice comment. Glad you and Hanna enjoyed the video :)
Such an amazing video!
Tusen takk Pål!
Thanks a lot for watching 🙏👍
Fantastic Pål, super helpful guide for anyone thinking of traveling to Norway and as always very enjoyable 👍
Many thanks! That's what I'm hoping, that it'll be helpful for people! :D
That is one luxurious ferry! (In my experiences on ferries)🤩Tusen takk for sharing your adventure with us. And I'm so glad you could eat like a viking! ⛴🌊🦐
Thanks for your nice comment Amy! I never miss the opportunity to eat like a Viking ;)
We took that overnight ferry back in 2019. Loved it! Can't wait to return.
Cool! Its such a great experience!
Thanks for the ferry info, Paul! I will use this this DFDS info next visit. Thanks for the “inside” info.
You welcome Math! Glad you found it helpful :)
Great video, I loved the narration style, very cozy. Taking this ferry in a few days, can't wait to freeeze on deck :D
Thanks for your nice comment! I hope you had a nice trip and froze a bit up on deck ;)
Since I visited Norway last Oct for the second time but explored it more with road trip with a friend I cannot stop watching and learning more about this country. So beautiful and I cannot wait to go back and explore it more. Your videos are very informative and enjoyable to watch. Thank you Pål
Thank you so much for your kind comment! I hope you'll get to explore more of Norway in the future :)
Amazing 👏
Thank you for this amazing and informative video Pål. Still hoping to make the Scandinavian tour with the family when the time is right.
Thank you Rachel! I hope we get to go on this ferry together some day :)
Thanks I just booked my ferry cruise from Oslo to Copenhagen for next month, I cant wait to visit Oslo and Tromso first. Great video.
Great! I hope it'll be an enjoyable journey for you :)
hello Paul, thanks for this video full of informations.
You welcome! Thanks for watching
Hei hei! Thanks for checking out the episode. Make sure to get in touch with me if you have any questions about this overnight ferry. I'd be happy to help! You can find my contact info on my website www.norwaywithpal.com

I am in the US and I'll be taking that ferry in May. Thanks for the video.
Enjoy the cruise!
Me too! Wish you a safe and enjoyable journey.
me three! visiting from Canada to both Denmark and Norway in late May. I got my reservation.
Wow! This added another idea for my trip back to Norway hopefully in March. Thanks for the links; I was surprised to see the tariffs, inexpensive for all that one is offered along with an enjoyabe cruise. I had not thought of including Copenhagen, but it has been on my bucket list and then to arrive in Oslo which means looking you up. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful! And yes it is fairly affordable, considering one sleeps onboard and there are inexpensive food options. They often have sales so it can pay off to check into their website now and then. Hope you'll make it back here in March!
Excellent video!!! and I love your logo in the lower right corner.
Thanks! Yep its a nice little detail, glad you noticed it
OK now I'm really really regretting not taking the ferry! This looks so enjoyable Pål!
It's very enjoyable, and as I say best way to travel between Copenhagen and Oslo!
This boat trip as well in October. Amazing experience
It sure is :)
I am just starting researching an October visit to Oslo and neighboring cities.
excellent video tusen takk from LA
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for a great video. I'm going in April 2023. Booked rooms in Copenhagen and Stockholm already. I'm going to do this ferry ride to Oslo. In September going back and doing Stockholm to Helsinki. 🤩
Hi Barbara, thanks for watching the episode! Sounds like a great trip you have planned :D
The Pearl Seaways was built in 1989 for the Swedish partner Rederi AB Slite in the Viking Line consortium as the m/s Athena. She was the biggest ferry in the world when she was delivered and served the Stockholm - Mariehamn (Åland Islands) 24 hour cruise route. :)
waiting for more videos like that
Thanks!
Harika bir yolculuk...
En veldig flott reise ja!
Nice. I did this last May, but travelling in steerage nothing like your luxurious cabin ! Did have the evening buffet which was good. You can also look out for the area where the german ship was sunk early days WW2 near the forts.
Great! TBH I usually don’t have such a nice cabin 😅
Yea Oscarsborg is an interesting spot!
Beautiful... One day i will be there
I hope so!
Hei, Hei! It is always a good day when you up load a video Pål!! The Duty Free store reminds me how some friends from Oslo drove us to Sweden to buy buy Norwegian candy because it was cheaper!! 😂😂 We brought home to the US an entire suitcase of Norwegian candy bought in Sweden. But beware. You can be can be stopped buy police at the border and receive a ticket. We just buy from duty free now because it is easier.
But that looks like a very nice cabin and the buffet looks so very delicious!
Cheers!
Hei hei Norwegian Elkhound :) ! Thanks for your very nice comment :D Yep there is a lot of money to be saved by crossing the border here. There is a limit on the alcholhol, and max 10 kilos of meat. But candy I don't think there is any limit on..hehe.. luckily ;)
@@norwaywithpal I suppose the cost of gas to drive there from Oslo makes buying meat, chocolate and alcohol just as costly as buying it at a REMA 1000?
I do have another question, do you like the Linie aquavit? I wonder because I heard from some people that it’s more of a gimmick than good aquavit. But everyone has an opinion and I’m wondering what yours is? For anyone reading this, they fill caskets with aquavit and ship it to the Southern Hemisphere and back as it ages. Personally, I like it and will drink but that’s because it’s the most common to find and buy here in the United States. My favorite that I’ve drank is Hellstrøm, but they do not sell it here. So I am just curious on your thoughts? Or if you have a favorite?
@@stoutoutandaboutwithanorwe300 despite the gas costs you can still save quite a bit if you shop a lot.. preferably of stuff you need :)
The Linie Aquavit is well respected here in Norway, and yes I do like it. If someone does not like linie, well then I don't think they like any kind of decent aquavit.
Last years there's come a lot of new brands at the Vinmonopolet. There are over 300 kinds! The Hellstrøm is very good. I tried one from Bareksten the other day. It's a new brand, but also quite good. Generally I like the golden colored ones, which have been matured. But a lighter and milder one can be nice on a summer day.
@@norwaywithpal Thank you for the reply! 300?!? That is a lot of aquavit!!
@@stoutoutandaboutwithanorwe300 Yep 🍹😋
Génial
Hi Pal, very nice and clever alternative to the plane; because when traveling , this option also save one room/hotel night , and save day time. i don´t know the cost, our flight from Olso to Copenhague was about Euro 110. Please continue sharing videos, is like traveling again.
Hi Magoyo, yes you are right its a clever way to travel between the two cities/countries. Often they have good "sea deals" as well, and you can find tickets a very low price, sometimes as low as 50 EUR. Thanks for watching the episode!
Great video! Would love to see something similar about Color Lines cruiseferries to Kiel! :)
Thanks Mark! Would love to also do the Kiel ferry sometime soon.
This sounds interesting
I am planning to visit Copenhagen through this ferry in this summer
Great! I'm sure you'll have a very enjoyable journey
Nice video bro.. cheers
Thanks Raja!
I like ur videos, hungry traveller from Algeria 😊
Thank you :)
My grandfather was from Norway. His name was Charles Youngstead. The spelling of the last name is a best guess. Everyone called him Charles Young.
Hey Michael!
Youngstead could derive from Ungstad. Young = Ung
@@norwaywithpal thank you, I believe your right. Your channel is a blessing. Norway is beautiful! Thank you for your time.
@@michaellindon5688 Thanks a lot Michael!
I'm taking this exact trip on 21.5.24. 😅
Enjoy! 😊
Pal, How do you stay so trim eating all the time. Another excellent video.
haha I ask myself that question as well. Thanks for watching John!
Absolutely entertaining. Love from India. I wish to go there once. I may ask for your help❤
thank you! I hope you'll make it to Norway some day. Let me know :)
I have never done the ferry from Copenhagen to Oslo
but have done the Kiel to Oslo run
and many of the Baltic ferries
between Sweden and Finland
and Finland and Estonia
My guide on the first ferry I took
said the buffet was the best deal
(this was nearly 25 years ago)
but I have always booked a buffet
on the ferries in the Nordic countries
when I can.
The buffet is quite a good deal if your are hungry and can eat a lot :) it’s also fun with all the different kinds of food I think 👍
@@norwaywithpal
My friends always said
do not eat before going on the ferry LOL
haha, a very good advice!@@johncrwarner
Excellent video Pål, in August my daughter and I are driving from Manchester to Olso via this same ferry for a gig in Fornebu, with time to kill over the weekend before driving back to the UK (via Sweden) with loads of memories. Anything you think we MUST do in Oslo whilst we're there?
Thank you! It really depends a lot on your interest. Something outdoorsy enjoy sauna or hike along the Akerselva river. For art head to the National Museum. For culture head to the Open Air Folk Museum. Another great museum is the the Fram Polar Expedition museum. And have a waffle at Haralds Vaffel in Grünerløkka:)
Hi Paul! Great video. Do you happen to know if this route ever gets rough? We’re visiting during summer and would love to try this, but the family had a rather rocky experience with ferry last year so we are a little PTSD-ed.
It can get rough, but usually not during the summer months. I’ve been on it many times in summer and except for one time rarely experienced much rocking
Great video..Should have added costs too..
Thanks! Costs are constantly fluctuation based on season and demand
Love your videos, they are very knowledgble, i do have a question, how do we know which ferry's can take cars in them? like if we travelling North to South I see there are many ferries, so how do we check that information? and do ferries accept any kind of cars?
Thank you! 🙏 all ferries that connect the road network in Norway will take cars. You can just line up at the docks
Thank you for the great video, very informative.
Do you know if I can ask for extra bed, or have our 9 years old sleep with us in the double bed commodore deluxe cabin? I couldn't find this information online.
Thanks!
You are welcome! Hmm that I do not know… I think it’s best you contact the DFDS customer service :)
Great video! Thank you! My wife and I were wondering about the ferry ride as well. So this is very helpful. Will the ferry be the same from Oslo to Copenhagen? And do you know if it will be super crowded in June? It felt great seeing the open space of your ferry ride in November
Hi there! Thanks for watching. There are two ferries but they are quite similar and provide the same experience. Might be crowded in June, hard to say, but you can expect more people on a weekend. Enjoy!
@@norwaywithpal Thank you so much. Please keep it up with the videos.
Very informative video Mr. Pål. We are going on this ferry tomorrow. Could you please guide us on what we should cover in 4 hours?
Thank you! 4 hours in Oslo, or on the ferry?
@@norwaywithpal It's 4 hours in Oslo
Hi there, you can find some suggestions here: norwaywithpal.com/city-guides/oslo-city-guide/#thingstodo@@yuvarajanu enjoy Oslo!
@@norwaywithpalThank you very much.
This seems like a much better option than the overnight bus, especially if you actually want sleep. Do you know when they're going to be running the overnight trains? 2026?
It really is a better option for sleeping, but the bus is more affordable of course. Not sure about the trains, but hopefully ASAP. Train connections between Oslo and Stockholm are relatively good, but not so much CPH-OSL
Wow very infromative!!!! Do you think would it ne unfortable to take this ferry without getting any room? Is it cold? Or is there warm area?
Thanks! You have to get a room.
If you need to go first class on pearl then take owners suite !!!
Next time :)
👍👍👍👍
I don’t think you mentioned price of the journey in euros, appreciate November is low season, July or August might be another matter. Sea conditions looked very calm.
Hi Jean, prices vary so much it’s better to check online. I think I paid around 300 eur for that cabin.
Water can be very calm anytime if the year, but the chance of a storm increase in September and October… but it’s really unpredictable
@@norwaywithpal Thanks for the reply, I thought the cabin might be a little pricey. Occasionally we need to treat ourselves. Thinking about a trip to Nordkapp, maybe using ferry from Kiel.
If you do a standard interior cabin you can find some real bargains!@@jeanjacques9980
@@norwaywithpal Will do, thanks.
Hallo
rådgi
Bør jeg ta en busstur i 3 timer rundt Oslo eller fra havnen til fots til byen? hvis du ser noe mens du går fra 10.00 til 14.00
Takk skal du ha
Heisann! Hvis du liker å gå så ville jeg gått. Oslo er ikke så stort, og ganske kompakt
Men hvis du vil ha en mer behagelig opplevelse så kan jo buss være et alternativ
I am planning a trip in Oct, this will be my first time taking a cruise! I usually suffer car sick I hope I survive this cruise without seasick. Any recommendation on which area of the room should I book (tail or head of the ferry?) to prevent seasick? Thanks in advance ❤
Hey KK, nothings worse than getting seasick! Tail is always better. If you feel unwell go on deck and get some fresh air. If that does not work head to your cabin, lay down and turn off the light. Good luck!
Thanks a lot for your advice!
Bookable for £24 return atm as a mini-cruise. Tempted
Nice price 👍👍👍
Using this ferry next month.
Do you know how quickly you get off and out from the 10AM arrival. I'm planning to head to Gothenburg after arriving in Oslo and would love to know how much time to allow.
It depends a bit how many people are onboard, and if there is a strict passport control. If you want to get off quickly then line up 40 minutes before arrival. But you'll miss some of the great view up on deck though. I usually stand up there until the ferry hits the dock. Then I go to my cabin to get my already packed stuff, and then I go off, and that way don't have to deal with the crowds fighting to get off first
Good luck! Enjoy!
I thought that both countries were Schengen. Didn't realize there'd be a passport control on arrival.
It's technically an ID control.But as a foreigner they'll ask for your passport. @@sammarks3710
Hi, does the deluxe cabin you booked include breakfast in the price? I assume the buffet dinner is extra too? Cheers Stephen
Hi Stephen, yes it includes a breakfast buffet , a bit of an upgraded one. Buffet dinner is extra
@@norwaywithpal Thank you!
Hi there, what's the port called that you arrive at in Norway? I am taking this journey later this month!
Its at Vippetangen. Enjoy!
Hi Pal, thanks for the great video. Do you think the ferry is suitable for a 1 year old baby? Thank you!
Hi Jane! Yes I think so, I could imagine bringing my daughter when she’s 1.. they have family rooms available
@@norwaywithpal great! Thank you again so much for the information. Can't wait to see Norway in May!
You are welcome :) @@JaneDoe-tt2vf
How early should I get to the terminal? an hour before departure?
If you are on foot then 1 hour before is good 👍 check in closes 15 min before departure
Does the fare cover any meals at all? Thanks.
If you buy a commodore cabin it covers the breakfast. But for a standard cabin breakfast is extra
There is no DFDS sign at the Copenhagen Central Station bus stop. Keep an eye out for “DFDS Shuttle bus”. I would like to take the bus to the ferry terminal but was confused by this statement I read on DFDS website. Where exactly is this bus stop if there is no sign? Where should I wait for the bus?
There is a parking lot by the station where the bus stops. Don't worry, you'll find it, but here is some info from the DFDS website.
www.dfds.com/en/passenger-ferries/passenger-information/bus-transfer/copenhagen
DFDS offers bus transfers between the DFDS Terminal and Copenhagen City Centre. The shuttle bus stops at the following locations in the city centre:
Nørreport (Øster Voldgade 2C)
Copenhagen Central Station (Banegårdspladsen)
Thank you very much
So is there a ferry from Bergen to Copenhagen?
Nope, but there is a ferry from Bergen to Hirtshals (Denmark)
Hey very informative and helpful video..... I am planing a 8-9 days trip to copenhegan, oslo and stockholm can u help... How can we connect
Thanks for watching! I do some Tour Planning. You can contact me and read more here: norwaywithpal.com/tour-planning-norway/
@@norwaywithpal yes thanks
Do they scan residents card?
They check your passport , not sure about residents card
@@norwaywithpal Thanks!
How much boat ticket? is it boring?
Depends on the cabin/day of the week etc. starting from around 100 eur. I think it’s very relaxing 😎
The footage shown here is actually a mix from both the ships; Pearl Seaways and Crown Seaways - so it's not all from the same trip :-)
The two ships have all the same concepts, but the lay-out is quite different in many ways. Also, the staff is different, and unique to each ship.
This video functions as an amalgamation of both ships! :-)
well observed Alf-Erik! We filmed a few scenes on the way down as well :)
@@norwaywithpal Yeah, I'd say it's mostly from Pearl, but interspersed with shots from Crown - f.ex. the wine and beer racks from the Tax Free are from Crown (but the rest of the tax free shots are probably Pearl), the Seven Seas buffet seems to be from Crown, and so are the music quiz shots, "house band" performance (I think?) and the Guest Service Centre. The concepts are similar for both ships, though - except Pearl operates a casino, whereas Crown offers a night club on the deck above the Columbus Club. (These two features are not always available - depends on demand, etc.)
Love your videos, I think they are great! IMO you do an excellent job in promoting Norwegian destinations and tours - doubt I've seen anyone do it better. New subscriber, here 🙂
Ps. In January, now (2023), it'll only be Crown (my favorite) sailing, so departures will only be every other day, from the respective destinations. I really, really recommend the beer tasting session in the Red & White wine bar (renamed Northern Lights in the new year). I felt that that one offered astonishing value for money - especially considering you get a personal presentation, so not as part of a group. The host in the Crown version was brilliantly genial and enthusiastic. Both ships have very entertaining and enthusiastic quiz hosts, in my experience.
@@alf-erikritsland1051 Hey, thanks for all the helpful info! I will have to do that beer tasting the next time. The Quiz was really fun! We were only 1 point away from winning :o
"the Seven Seas buffet seems to be from Crown, and so are the music quiz shots, "house band" performance (I think?) and the Guest Service Centre." Yep you are right about that.
Thanks for subscribing to my channel :)
@@norwaywithpal I never miss out on the music quiz - it's great fun :-)
Dislike for not publishing prices.
Prices fluctuate from week to week based on supply and demand, and tend to increase every years, so not really any point putting out prices. But they are one click away on their website: www.dfds.no
êd2ư2😊🤧😇😊@@norwaywithpalrrdrerrrdrerrrerredrrrderrrrrrrrrdr3regular ddererrerredRee3
nice but u failed to mention the price ..what do u think a tourist would like to know when traveling? the cost of things of course...and was the wifi connection good? tks..
The price changes regularly. It’s different now than when I published the video. You can easily find it if you use the resources I point to in the video. Good luck!
