    I was a little disappointed when we got to the room and the beds weren’t made and it looked like it hadn’t been prepped for guests, but other than that it was great. I also wish there was a schedule of events for bingo/music/trivia etc that was more available.

    I love this mini cruise trip. I love the activities and different things to do on the ship

    The cabin beds were so comfy, and the sheets felt super clean and fresh. In fact, the mattress and bedding were more comfortable than some hotels I've stayed in over the years! The ensuite bathroom was clean and functional - plenty of places to hang towels and a shelf to store toiletries. The shower was hot and had excellent water pressure. It's not specified in the room description, but the bathroom did have a hairdryer too. The cabin itself was clean and absolutely perfect for a one night stay. In the evening there was a music quiz and bingo - both free to enter and a really fun way to pass a couple of hours! Would definitely recommend :) The ferry terminal in Oslo is just a 10 minute walk from the city centre, which is very convenient. All the DFDS staff were very helpful. I'd also highly recommend the coffee from Coffee Crew - a large latte cost just over £5.50 which didn't seem too bad considering. The coffee tasted great!

    The prices were a little bit high in the ferry. And the rooms aren't big enough for 4 people. It's even smaller for just 2 person. If there is no window, there is no point in booking this ferry. Everything becomes good with the window view.

    Everything.

    Nothing.

    The sailing was amazing, gorgeous views. We chose 3 of the economy cabins for our group of 3 couples, we knew when we booked there could be some noise. The cabins were under the car decks which once the cars had all boarded was no problem. It was a quiet crossing, the days either side were holidays and very busy so we picked a good day! The only noise in the cabins was from the engine which you could hear a quiet droning but it didn’t cause any problem when sleeping. This was the only time really we were in the cabin as the facilities on the ship were fab. The duty free shop was amazing, loads of bargains for be had, clothes, fragrances, cosmetics, shoes, handbags, just a shame we didn’t have the weight allowance on our hold suitcase.

    The best experience! Very fast and easy check in. Kind personel. Cozy beds and very clean room. A lot of things to do on decks. Parties, bars, cafes. And also spectacular views at fjords and sunset.

    There were little dirt on my sheets and pillows.

    Price is good, amazing view from the top deck. I choose the cheapest room, so there are no window but I was lucky because my room was very close from the door to the top deck. The pressure and temperature of showers in my room was also great than I have expected!

    This was the best way to go from Oslo to Copenhagen. For a price that similar to an overnight stay in a hotel in Scandinavia, we could also travel from one country to another and sleep comfortably in a bed. This was better than taking a train or flying. The ferry was like a mini-cruise. Aside from the views of Oslofjord and Copenhagen harbor, there was duty-free shopping, variety of dining options, and even outdoor jacuzzies for those brave enough to take a dip despite the cold weather. We ventured out to see both a spectacular sunset and a dreamy sunrise. Getting to and off the ferry was easy as well. Breakfast buffet spread was also delicious.

    Excellent idea for a trip between Oslo & Copenhagen: hotel, transport & entertainment combined all in one!

    Generally all good. Although on the return I was under impression we’ll arrive to Oslo at 9am-ish, and booked a city tour which we were late for as we arrived past 10am & also had a long queue to check out/go through the customs in Oslo (unlike in Copenhagen). Some of the salad/fruit in Seven Seas restaurant were not fresh.

    Excellent idea for a trip between Oslo & Copenhagen: hotel, transport & entertainment combined all in one (and on very cheap of you go just for their cheaper /standard cabins). You can go back the same route, by ferry (you have to take all your bags from the ferry although there are lockers right in the terminal building by the check-ins, just need coins for that), spending about 4 hours in the city in between, from around 10am to 2.30pm (we booked a 1.5 hours walking tour & had time left to browse the streets on our own & have lunch) On a ferry there is good choice of restaurants & cafe, a duty free shop & a night club with quiz/music/performance programme, themed each day. We did not use jacuzzi/sauna but you could, and they were not busy. All restaurants & cafes & their food are good. At Seven Seas restaurant you pay 280 DKK pp & have unlimited buffet, with massive choice. The fresh fish & shellfish were great, as well as meat dishes, bread section & desserts & lots of other meals. Italian restaurant was good too, serves very big portions. Coffee /breakfast cafe was great, excellent coffee & fresh bakery. We booked a return journey, in a standard cabin with window & back without a window, and the one without turned out to be a better layout, with TV & bigger bathroom, and twice cheaper.

    For the same price or less than another night in Oslo you be sitting in a jacuzzi on the top deck looking out at Nordic landscapes, sunset from the ship was unreal, all food and drink was lovely, onboard shop was great for restocking supplies before the next day in Copenhagen. For us it was our way of seeing a 3rd country in 5 days, it crowned an amazing surprise adventure for my Dad, he was blown away
