Just like DFDS isn’t your average ferry, this wasn’t your average buffet. There was endless options on meats, veggies, fresh loaves of bread, pasta dishes, smoked salmon, fresh fruit and tasty desserts plus so. We’re living in Denmark for the summer and decided to take the ferry to Oslo instead of flying. But, it ended up being more like a mini-cruise, which I wasn’t mad about. If you’re thinking of taking the DFDS ferry, keep on reading for my experience and DFDS ferry review along with the best room types to book and other travel tips I wish I knew before we went.
Mini cruises & short hotel breaks

Ideal for the budget-friendly traveller, our comfortable, en suite, economy cabins from Newcastle and Amsterdam sleep 2 – 4 people in bunk beds. Sail from Newcastle to Amsterdam with front row seats to the beautiful North Sea from your en suite, sea view cabin. The Copenhagen Oslo ferry timetable does vary a bit but in general, they leave Denmark around 3pm and arrive in Norway around 10am. The Commodore Class is some of the best boats in the Oslo boat. Here you live in large cabins with double bed, TV and private bathroom. At Commodore Class, the delicious Commodore Class breakfast buffet is included in the price.
Onboard Experience
Finally, get comfortable in one of our private en suite cabins and relax as you travel on our stunning route between Copenhagen and Oslo. Copenhagen’s effortless Scandinavian cool, whether that’s its minimalist restaurants, trendy bars or beautiful centre, makes for the perfect city break. The ship was launched on August 16, 1986, acquired (by Wallenius Safe Felicia AB) on February 20, 1987, and entered service on June 26 (inaugural cruise). Originally, the vessel (Nils Holgersson) was ordered by Swecarrier (TT LINE's parent company), but during the construction, it was sold to the privately-owned Wallenius Lines. Upon delivery (February 1987) it was bareboat-chartered to Swecarrier and deployed on the Sweden-Germany route Trelleborg-Travemunde. In February 1992, the vessel was sold to SweFerry AB but kept the same service.
Nestled among this Nordic scenery, surrounded by a gorgeous fjord and lush forests lies Oslo, Norway’s relaxed, modern and cosmopolitan capital. Whether you're into partying or simply looking to relax, the Copenhagen-Frederikshavn-Oslo route has it all. If you’re looking for the best value for money, then opt for an economy cabin. We're elated to announce that DFDS has once again retained its title as Europe’s Leading Ferry Operator at the 2024 World Travel Awards.

Ferry Crossings to the Baltics
But that’s me, and I am sure many people would rather want to stay in a city where they have access to most amenities. In January 1993, the cruise ship was sold to Brittany Ferries, renamed "Val de Loire" and drydock-rebuilt in La Spezia (at the INMA shipyard / Industrie Navali Meccaniche Affini SpA). During the 5-month refit (February-June) were changed the forward superstructure and bow door, all interiors were completely refurbished. In June 1993, Val de Loire started operations on the UK-Spain route Plymouth-Santander, alternated with UK-France service (Plymouth-Roscoff) and Ireland-France (Cork-Roscoff) services. In 2004, the ship started the UK-France regular service Portsmouth-St Malo and Portsmouth-Cherbourg. The vessel was sold to DFDS in November 2005 and delivered in February 2006.
