"Unexpected stop"
Ship felt quite crowded and busy, was glad to have a cabin to escape to. When we booked there was nothing on the information saying that the ferry makes a stop in Fredrichshaven in Denmark on the way to Copenhagen at 1am which was a bit of a surprise and also meant we didnt really have a great sleep as woken by the announcements and noisy manouvering. Probably would have travelled on the route any way but would have been useful to know that we would be woken in middle of night. Experience at both ports really easy
"Loved It!"
Amazing Ferry from Oslo to Copenhagen! Great ship, clean, great music, pool, hot tub, kids area etc! Very happy and satisfied!
"DFDS "
A great way to arrive in Oslo waking up to beautiful scenery as we headed up the Oslo Fjords. WIFI very expensive.
"Excellent experience"
Really enjoyed the journey to oslo from copenhagen and back. My friend and i had the smaller cabins because they were cheaper, but they still were comfy. The staff very helpful and civilised and theres almost nothing you can't get on board. Planning to come back again-thank you dfds
"Great"
Great and easy way to get to Copenhagen. The room was a bit smaller, but we didnt mind. We just needed a bed to sleep. Bathroom was ok, too. The ship has many restaurants, bars,.. also live music! There is a bubble zone with a swimming pool, sauna and jacuzzis. Smoking area outside on the deck with covered seating, so you dont feel cold weather. We enjoyed and definitely recommend!
"more than what expected"
everything good, and excellent service
"Great way to Travel between Oslo and Copenhagen"
Surprisingly fun way to travel between these great cities. Lovely views of Oslo Fjords. Enjoyed the troubadour entertaining in the bar. Met some nice people enjoying the deck. All good.
"Nice trip"
Would have loved to have traveled in warmer weather or have more indoor window seats
"Excellent DinnerExperience but not the same for Breakfast"
This ferry is an effortless way to travel between Oslo & Copenhagen and visa versa. Booking in was simple , no queues and straight to my Cabin. After unpacking what was deemed necessary I made may way to the Espresso Café for Coffee & a Danish and contemplated which restaurant I should take dinner in. Having decided on the SJO Restaurant I promptly made my reservation before returning to my cabin for a Shower & change. The Meal & wines at the restaurant were superb and the attention to detail by the staff second to none; one of the best dining experiences of all time. Having completed my meal with Coffee, Petite Fours and Cognac I retired to my room a very contented passenger. The next morning I wished to continue my experience on board only to find that my choice was restricted to either coffee & a pastry at the Espresso House or fighting it out at the Self Service Buffet. I choice the latter and was most disappointed especially after my previous nights experience. Plates were cold as was the food by time you got to the table, trying to get the staff's attention for Coffee was nigh impossible and if you left your table for a minute to find some for yourself you found that during your absence they had appeared like the Tooth Fairy and cleared your table. So why oh why don't DFD give an alternative; I was taken from a high to rock bottom in 8 hours. I score the SJO Restaurant 5 stars and the breakfast buffet 0 Stars so an average of 2.5 which does not give any credit to the guys in the Restaurant. So wake up DFD and serve breakfast to basic travellers in one of your other Restaurants.
"Ferry"
Very well organised.
"Ferry trip Copenhagen to Oslo "
The ferry was similar to a cruise ship and it was advertising mini cruises with entertainment in the evening. The cabins were small but the bed was much appreciated for the overnight crossing.
"Great Trip"
Had a great trip with Direct Ferries from Oslo to Copenhagen on the overnight ferry. The staff were excellent and very knowledgeable - especially about wine ! We had a smooth crossing and the only criticism was the cabins were warm but maybe we hadn't figured the heating system out. Would definitely travel with them again, highly recommend.
"Super trip"
We recently travelled from Oslo to Copenhagen with DFDS Seaways on the Pearl Seaways. The cabin was comfortable; the crew very helpful; the scenery stunning. Overall a most enjoyable trip.
"Cancellation"
Unfortunately a serious family matter occurred so I had to curtail our trip. When trying to cancel on my bookings all that came up was ‘this booking is non refundable’ which I appreciate. However from your point of view it might have been helpful to no that I was going to be boarding.
"Good experience"
I really appreciate. I was a good experience in my life. Everything is super, I mean cleaning, punctuality, very organised. I highly recommend it to others.
"Fantastic"
So great
"Exceptional"
We had exceptional accomodations, good food,and wonderful service.the staff were all so helpful and friendly. The outdoor bars were so enjoyable. While smoking was generally not allowed, there was enough space for those of us who haven't yet kicked the habit,. We would recommend travelling this way to Norway .
"Efficient"
Left on time, and arrived on time, no problems with entering, or leaving the ship, cabin and bedding clean, and comfortable. Happy to use DFDS again
"Boat from Oslo to Copenhaven"
Boat from Oslo to Copenhaven-Overall good value
"Very bad choice."
This ferry is very expensive for food and beverages. The entertainment was poor. My room was tiny. Will not use this route again. Id rather drive.
"Nice ship tour "
I really enjoyed very nice ship tour
"A memorable return voyage on Pearl Saeways"
I was most impressed by almost every aspect of the voyage. The ship is spacious and my cabin,a single outside with TV could not be faulted. The ships schedule means that travel is leisurely. The food in the 'Seven Seas' Buffet was so good that it was a challenge to do justice to the options provided. The ships staff were all friendly and very helpful and the ship departed and arrived almost eaxctly on time. The approach to Oslo up the fjord is most impressive.Overall an excellent journey which I thoroughly recommend.
"ERVARING"
AS IT WAS OUR FIRST WE ENJOYED THE TRIP.THANK YOU
"Save time and money"
We recently took a trip to Norway and decided to visit Copenhagen since it so close we only had 3 days left of our vacation so it was diffiuclt to find rooms in Copenhagen so we opted to take the over night ferry so we only had to find a room for one night since you sleep on the ferry going and returning . We found a centrally located room a 10 minute taxi ride away from the ferry station . So we had a full day in Olso and took the late afternoon ferry to Denmark and stayed in Commodore class on the ferry ( comes with a bottle of champagne and breakfast the next morning). We arrived in Copenhagen refreshed and ready to tour the city the next morning after checking in our luggage at the hotel we took a hop on hop off bus tour of the city good for 48 hours it took us to all the citys points of interest and the next day we took the late afternoon ferry back to Olso The room on the ferry was quiet and comfortable there are a number of resturants and entertainment help pass the time on board.
"Oslo-Copenhagen Excellent Service / Rough Sea"
We embarked on this 17-hour crossing after 8-days of rent-a-car tour across the Scandinavian peninsula. It saved us 600 km of additional drive down the west coast. Service was excellent, there is much to do, The only complaint would be the weather. The weather in august up north is something quite different from what we are used to in the Mediterannean ... those with bouts of sea-sickness - don't forget the pills ...
"Great trip and way exceeded our expectations after reading reviews"
The room was clean and in good repair, and similar to other ship rooms we have had (ship rooms are just small). There was ample deck space and we spent little time in the room. Italian restaraunt was great and we split a delicious pizza. Wine in 'duty free' was expensive and swill. Ask for room on 5th floor to avoid lavatory with your luggage.
"Enjoyable overnight cruise"
Travelled from Copenhagen to Oslo overnight. This was a lovely and scenic way to travel in comfort. Commodore class included an excellent breakfast and our meal in the steak house restaurant was good. A little slow through customs in Oslo but our hotel was an easy walk from the ferry. I would recommend this alternative to flying between capitals.
"Great way to travel"
Thoroughly enjoyed the journey. Lots to do if you want to or just sit back and relax. Excellent food and very friendly staff. Very comfortable cabin.
"Great trip, relaxing fun"
Our trip from Copenhagen to Oslo (and return) was our first and very enjoyable. Hassle free boarding and disembarking. Found our room easy. Room basic but clean and assisted to top deck and entertainment. Entertainment in lounge was great. Food at 7 Seas restuarant was great. Huge selection. We took the 2 hour coach trip around Oslo which left us plenty of time to find a resturant for late lunch and relax before boarding ferry for return.Will certainly do another ferry trip again.
"Oslo to Copenhagen"
I think that this is a very nice way to travel for those of us who spend too much time on planes. It was cool, comfortable, and nice to be able to freely move about the ship. It took us directly from city center to city center and we quickly got off the ship, grabbed a cab, and were off on our next adventure. You're on holiday. Enjoy the adventure.
"TERRIBLE CABIN"
DURING THE PROCESS OF BOOKING ON LINE, IT WASN'T CLEAR FOR ME THE FEATURES OF THE CABIN AND I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO MAKE A BETTER CHOICE. I TRAVELED WITH MY HUSBAND AND WE GOT A TOO SMALL CABIN WITH TWO BUNK BEDS STACKED ONE OVER THE OTHER. IT WAS TOO UNCOMFORTABLE.
"Best way to travel between oslo and copenhagen"
Excellent experience. Good value for money. Best way to travel between Copenhagen and oslo! Buffet dinner was delicious I'm surprised they call it a ferry as it was so beautiful it was more like a cruise ship.
"Great way to travel"
A great way to travel from Oslo to Copenhagen. Lots of room to move around, comfortable sleeping cabins.
"Copenhagen to Oslo by ferry."
We had bunk beds in a small cabin. We slept well, had a hot shower, with good pressure all in a clean cabin. The staff were excellent and although busy seemed cheerful. All that we wanted aboard the ferry.
"Perfect way to get to Oslo"
