Copenhagen to Oslo is DFDS's overnight cruise-ferry between the Danish and Norwegian capitals, a passage of around seventeen hours that doubles as a relaxed mini-cruise. The ship sails in the late afternoon, crosses the Kattegat and Skagerrak overnight and makes a memorable morning approach up the Oslofjord, past wooded islands and shoreline towns into the heart of Oslo. On board are en-suite cabins, restaurants, bars, shops, a nightclub and entertainment, so the evening passes easily before a comfortable night's sleep. The ferries carry cars, motorhomes and foot passengers, and the scenic fjord arrival alone makes the route a favourite. With a cabin booked you step ashore rested in central Oslo, close to the city's museums, harbourfront and onward roads into the Norwegian fjords and mountains.
