Copenhagen–Oslo is an ideal crossing for people travelling directly between the two capitals. However, the connection is also convenient for those from the surrounding regions looking for a departure point.
Although it might not be the most obvious choice, travellers from the UK can also use this crossing when travelling to Norway. The reason is the price.
The crossing from Copenhagen to Oslo is sometimes cheaper than the popular Kiel–Oslo route, which is often seen as quite expensive. Especially if you book late, as prices for the Kiel to Oslo route with Color Line can increase significantly.
Photos of the crossing
A Ferrygogo visitor who went on a winter sports trip to Norway with the family chose this crossing due to the attractive price and shared some photos from onboard:

The onboard experience was positive. The photos we received (taken late at night during a winter crossing) may not fully reflect what the crossing offers on summer days, but they give a fair impression.
Want to see what the crossing looks like in summer? You can check out the DFDS website (former operator of this route) which still offers a visual 3D tour.
