I liked this ship so much more than the noisy ferry from Helsinki to Stockholm. It looks like it has quiet lounges for passengers to sit, read, chat with other travelers or post on Facebook and KZbin. Thank you for this fine video.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

I agree with you Sam, and lovely views 🥰

[@chenseanxy]

Those ships actually have nice lounges too, it's all the way in the front of the ship, behind the stages in Starlight. It is quite small for the ship's size though.

[@bmolitor615]

thanks for your nice opinions, Sam

[@tomgulbrandsen2399]

I often use Fjordline from Bergen and all the way to Langesund and then drive to Oslo, more relaxing than to drive over the mountain. Takes a day longer, but I don't care. I love sailing around our fjords. I have been doing so much ferry, passenger boats and fast ferries around Norway now, so I have to list the few I haven't tried yet 😍

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Couldn't agree more!

[@henk4465]

I believe you can have duty free shopping anywhere in the route you are outside the 12 mile zone and thus in international waters... That why those shops are not open at departure 😃

[@NonstopEurotrip]

I don't think we ever went 12 miles from the coast 😂

Norway is such a beautiful country. In 2018, my wife and I took a cruise from Southampton to Norway, calling at Stavanger, Olden, Flam and Bergen. From Stavanger, we took a mini-cruise up the Lysefjiord. We sailed past Pulpit Rock (a famous tourist attraction) that was used as a location for the film Mission Impossible: Fallout with Tom Cruise (filmed a month after our holiday, I believe).

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Wow I bet that was amazing 🤩

[@arnsteinskovereng3697]

Norway is not part of the EU customs-union, therefore it's possible to sell tax-free on board the ferries to and from Norway.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Ah, but just not between Norwegian stops 🙏🏻

[@christoffero89]

@@NonstopEurotrip correct

[@Lufteks]

Norway is not within the EU customs union, only within Schengen, therefore there is a Tax Free store.

Last time I was on Stavangerfjord, the waves were crazy and water splashed on the windows in the front. I was at the top. I looked out of the window and the waterline went up and down. The ship was pitching like crazy. It was fun.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Oh wow 🤢

[@richard-riku]

Norway is really a stunning place to visit for a holiday. The further north you go along the coast the more impressive it becomes, the Lofoten islands especially.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Thanks for the suggestions 😊

[@BLUETERRIER7]

I can recommend the train from Trondheim to Bodø 10 hours of stunning scenery and crosses the Artic Circle. Followed by an equally stunning flight from Bodø to Tromso 👌👌👌

[@NonstopEurotrip]

I've done it 😁

[@davidrle23]

Interestingly Fjord Line have just announced that they are going to be converting Stavangerfjord and Bergenfjord away from being exclusively LNG and instead combined LNG and Marine Oil. While greener, the price of LNG is too expensive and they are now losing money. The conversion process will take 4 months per ferry, starting in January and effectively the route is going to be closed down for the first 4 months of 2023 to accommodate this, and not back up to full capacity till June.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Interesting, thanks for the information ℹ️🙏🏻

[@BobTravellin]

Now that looks like a cool way to get around......love it.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Quite the commuter I'd say. My paternal great-grandparents from Hurdal parish, Akershus fylke (county), Norway. Always enjoy the scenery from there.

Thanks for sharing Melvin 😚

Amazing trip report and loved watching it. And that’s true, if you get an amazing views from deck why upgrade your seat and prices were really reasonable tbh. Moreover, those view were really magnificent and good to see ships are becoming more green.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Yeah but it was nice to have somewhere to leave my bags... How's Canada mate?

[@panzerivausfg4062]

It was interesting seeing you taking a break from train travelling and choosing to do a cruise review. I believe you should try it again! It was a nice choice since Norway is really beautiful! Another thing that i really liked is the inclusion of the prices in the various items and products aboard. It's useful information and i think you have to do that with the train 🚂 reviews too!!

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Thanks for the suggestions 🙂

[@GormHornbori]

Well, as there is no train line from Bergen to Stavanger (except via Oslo), it's either this ferry or the bus (and the bus will go on two shorter ferry rides).

[@latviantrainschannel]

Excellent video!

[@michaelmacdonell4834]

(bounces happily, if a little unsteadily - because, well, waves.) Bergen is the Norwegian Baking capital - so many good cakes and breads there.

If you are looking for unique ferry crossings; consider some RoRo-ferries also taking foot passengers. Dining with the truck drivers. For example Travemünde - Liepāja. High on my personal list is Ghent (Belgium) - Göteborg (Sweden), along the Dutch and Danish coast, and including trip in an inland canal.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Thanks for the suggestions!! 👌🏻

[@kh28]

Nice video. It is also a boat route from Oslo to Kiel (northern Germany) on the worlds biggest cruise ship with car deck. I would recommend it :)

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Sounds great!

[@mgcruise4054]

Small correction. It‘s the biggest ferry, not the biggest cruise ship.

Hello time traveller Pedro! 👋🏻

[@helgeottera408]

This route is from Bergen - Stavanger - Hirtshals - Langesund - Hirtshals - Stavanger - Bergen. A 48 hour cruise for those who want it. And the map you showed of the sailingroute in the beginning was wrong.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

All mentioned in the video.

A smart looking ship, it looks better than most of nowadays cruisers. Maybe you should check some Mediterranean ferries (GNV, Grimaldi or Corsica/Sardinia Ferries, or Greek, Tunisian and Spanish lines).

[@Luredreier]

4:48 You sure about that route? Its weird for ships carrying passengers to sail outside the protection of the "skjærgård" (not sure about the English word, google translate only suggests "archipelago", but that's clearly wrong, the idea is reefs, islets and islands all breaking up the waves and blocking the wind etc so you have a mostly smooth sailing from the Norwegian-Russian border to the Finnish-Russian one, with only a few locations genuinely exposed to bad weather, waves, winds etc. Meaning fewer sea sick passengers. Also, there's more to see there.)

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Nope, not sure at all 😂

[@Luredreier]

9:01 Not exactly. Norway is *not* a part of the EU customs union. Furthermore Norwegian *national* sin taxes on alcohol is extremely high, any ship leaving Norwegian territorial waters can sell alcohol at lower prices then Norwegian alcohol if they're registered outside of Norway. You mentioned this ship being registered in Denmark. So they can charge Danish taxes instead of Norwegian ones... Significantly cheaper alcohol in other words. 16:12 You're supposed to buy a ticket before entering. Either on a phone or in a ticket machine or from a kiosk. Also apparently the heart vanishes if you edit out spelling errors etc...

> Fairly reasonable prices No, those are Danish crowns, not Norwegian ones. 25DKK is 2,88£, but 25NOK is 1.80£. It's about 50% more. There's a Kiwi grocery store right before you get to the terminal, you can stock up stuff you might want there. If you're going to Denmark, you can access the tax free which is a lot cheaper than the little kiosk.

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Sorry, what do you mean?

[@HrHaakon]

@@NonstopEurotrip the prices in that kiosk are not reasonable. They may seem okayish if you think that theyre norwegian crowns but they arent. Theyre danish crowns and thus about 50% higher.

@@NonstopEurotrip Norwegians love to take ferries to Sweden (and also just drive), Denmark and Germany to buy the tax free quota and to buy cheaper meat and other food. The Color Line ferries from Oslo to Kiel are basically cruise ships.
