Getting There By Water

Oslo Port Authority (tel: 2291 0000; website: www.ohv.oslo.no) operates a large, multi-purpose port facility situated on the Oslofjord, close to the city centre. Terminal facilities are basic and include seating and a cafeteria. However, there are bars and restaurants within walking distance of the DFDS/Stena quay.

Ferry services: Color Line (tel: 8100 0811; website: www.colorline.com) operates services to Germany (Kiel) and Denmark (Hirtshals), DFDS Seaways (tel: 2241 9090; website: www.dfdsseaways.com) services Copenhagen via Helsingborg, and Stena Line (tel: 2317 9000; website: www.stenaline.com) sails to Frederikshavn in Denmark.
