Thanks! 😃

We took that very same ferry (DFDS Crown Seaways), but going in the opposite direction from Copenhagen to Oslo, in December 2022 -- and loved it! And that's saying a lot because we are well-seasoned cruisers with nearly 50 cruises and over 400 days at sea already under our belts. We were surprised at how much entertainment and activities this ferry offered: trivia games, FREE Bingo with some cool prizes, house party band and even a cabaret show by the "cruise director" (who also led all the other games and activities). We were assigned a 4 berth inside cabin even though we were only two people, for which we "seniors" only paid $100 USD (total) for both of us (including our transportation to the ferry from the CPH train station). We definitely want to take this ferry again - maybe for one of those 2 day "mini-cruises" they offer at incredibly low fares and which give you a full day in the "destination" city.

[@KatStew-j4p]

So funny to see Koa’s fascination with the farming machines😍 I know one cannot generalise, but with three sons and one daughter I so recognised the eagerness for watching wheeled machinery in Koa, while Hunter explored other things🤩😂

[@sakurassmile3594]

I've been watching you for 9 years now and I never get tired of watching you. I hope that you'll be in Germany again over Christmas. I'm looking forward to the next videos

[@user-mp5ww2bt7q]

Against seasickness, try to stay as low as possible and as much in the middle as possible! When we went Copenhagen to Oslo, we had a suite at the front top deck, which was fun, until the storm on the way back 🤢

[@AnneJutras]

This a cool way to travel to Denmark, and with a pool ! Amazing ! The price is also affordable. I'm blown away by all the activities they offer for the kids. 🥰Can't way to see what next. 💕

[@jkneumann]

OK, i dont know if it is my bias for all things Scandinavian (especially Norway) but y'all's Norway van series was sublime. I have only had the opportunity to visit once but now I realize I must go back. And if I can catch a DFDS Ferry, all the better. God bless your sweet genuine precious family.

[@HrHaakon]

Copenhagen is an international hub airport, so it's very likely that your Scandinavian flight will end up there, so it's not a bad idea at all if you like travelling by boat.

[@twinkhel]

I’m always keeping an eye on Koa’s growing character and he is showing a great one like his big sister Hunter! ❤❤❤ Soon they will be the one narrating your video stories 😅😊

[@flyingthenest]

hehe yes - he has sprouted so much in the last few months - really come out of his shell!

[@bronwynquinn4477]

Aww! Fabulous video once again! Loved your mini cruise! Will keep this in mind when I go !

What a fun way to travel!! It’s wonderful how so much is geared for children! I’m looking forward to seeing more of Denmark. Have a great week.

Norwegians go to Denmark and back with this ferries to get drunk for little money, buy cheep stuff in tax free and have a little break. Lots of Norwegian families also taken their car and go on holiday in Denmark 😊

[@blomsterfreak]

we do the same the other way around :D

[@rowaystarco]

@@blomsterfreak Seeing that the NOK is in the dumps now, it's probably better to be Dane in Norway than a Norwegian in Denmark.100 DKK is worth the 160 NOK now, pretty damn insane. 12 years ago the NOK and DKK was worth the same.. The Danish in general have a better wage increase now too. I guess binding the DKK to the Euro was a pretty good idea.

[@DrMcKay66]

Just like we do in sweden and finland. Cheap cruises between stockholm-mariehamn and finland to get piss drunk😅😅 24h cruise cost very little.

Hi I'm From Finland and i love to see your's Travel Vlogs Happy Monday❤ evening

[@cspvideo]

It's a little boy passion. Our sons and grandsons loved to watch trucks and tractors and busses. The grandboys live next door to a school. When they were Koa's age, watching the buses pull up to either drop off or pick up children was the pinnacle of entertainment. Now that they are older, they love building transportation out of Lego. Starships, trucks, cars and planes.

[@travelwithles9026]

I've loved watching your family travels for years now! I plan on doing that same ferry/cruise on our Scandinavia trip next year. So I was very excited to to see you all experience it, especially since it seemed to receive rave reviews from you! Safe travels! :)

[@flyingthenest]

Aww youre soo kind really appreciate you watching our videos :) which have been you fav series we've done?! YES we loved the DFDS ferries - you see we will do the Smyrl line in a future vlog and it was sooo much worse than DFDS!

[@travelwithles9026]

@@flyingthenest Thanks for writing back! Hmm...tough question! Your videos are so well done. We loved both van life series as we have our own van now! And I'm obsessed w/Europe and plan to take my kiddo there for his first time next year, so I eat up all your shows there! He watches too and says he wants to be friends with Hunter and Koa. :) Ok good to know! I'll put DFDS down as a must do!

[@renatenouta5630]

Legoland Billund? That would be perfect! We went there twice with our kids. They loved building and building lego bricks and didnt think much of the rides😅

[@torgeirbrandsnes1916]

Great vlog as always! The ferries in the nordic countries are like cruise ships. A cabin is almost free. They want to take you to the cleaners because where else can you go? The ferries from Oslo to Kiel are alot bigger and a lot nicer. This ship is from the late 80s. Now you are off to Legoland, or Billund. Keep up the good work. Be safe my friends!

[@HeideBoswel]

I love when baby Koa comes out of the bathroom at 5:15. So random 😂

[@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131]

I went to Copenhagen about a week ago. On the "DFDS Pearl"....(The sister ship of "DFDS Crown"). Now I'm already plannig for a new trip. These ships are great for a two day break. They leave Oslo Port at 3pm. Arriving i Copenhagen at 9.30-10 am. Same hours for the return. "Pearl" and "Crown" used to be cruise ships. Sailing in Asia. They are immensely popular. So are the Oslo- Kiel (Germany) sister ships "Magic" and "Fantacy". I've sailed on these ships since I was 5... The music they play is the "Tivoli March", of the Copenhagen "Tivoli" amusement park...🎉😊

[@stinegreverasmussen6075]

Welcome back to Denmark, i have a pretty good guess that you guys are going to Legoland 😊 But no matter where you going to here in Denmark I truly hope you guys will enjoy your stay ❤❤❤❤😊😊

[@LJ412jag.]

Baby Koa has got so big ❤😊

[@flyingthenest]

Hehe sooo big

[@hartfischer5509]

I got a cabin on that ferry for $110, for 2 people. Way cheaper. This was below the cargo deck, below the big rig trucks, below the waterline. It was great. I did not sleep much at all, I was taking photos on the top deck, enjoying the scenery of Oslo Fjord, until 11pm, getting up at 5am to enjoy the coast of Denmark. It was magic. It was worth every penny for that night : )

[@therovingbalys]

This looked like such a great way to travel, so much more fun than flying!

[@rumik-stahnke6512]

Amazing video as always guys 👍Thanks for sharing and take care 😁

[@flyingthenest]

Thanks! You too!

[@amyslowikgrossman835]

This ferry was thought out by someone who travels with little kids. You can tell by the pool, the kids play area, and the mascots at dinner. So smart because if you wear kids out and get them fed they sleep well and behave so the parents and other passengers will sleep too. That could be a thing to add to your series on traveling with kids: point out in the sites you stay what activities there are where you can let the kids play and get the extra energy out.

[@lorettachin1137]

You must be heading to Billund Denmark! Oh I am so excited for this series. We were in Billund last year and just loved it.

[@stevenkeithcoulthard706]

Loving that you usually order Bombay Sapphire as your gin of choice.... anywhere in the world, you can find the square blue bottle and everything seems a little bit better... or at least, it relaxes the past 30 hour travel weekend.... well done.

[@HannahJ]

We’ve done that cruise from CPH to Oslo a couple of times. We live in CPH so it’s not hard to do that for a weekend. Copenhagens has lots of playgrounds (legeplads). We were on level 5 on our most recent trip and we preferred it to a lower deck. We’ve always done it in cabins without windows. I’m not so much of a fan of the lack of window but actually once you’re in your cabin and you’re trying to get kids to bed it’s a little easier lol. I think we were on the other ship on the route because I don’t remember the pool and the kids area being that nice lol.

[@HannahJ]

Around midnight I think it calms down because you’re then coming down the east coast of Denmark rather than the “open” sea. There’s a brief stop in Frederikshavn and then it carries onto Copenhagen.

[@HannahJ]

The bridge is called Storbæltbro (Big belt bridge) and that goes from Sjælland (the bit Copenhagen is on) to Fyn. You then go over a second bridge called Lillebæltsbro. (Little Belt bridge) (after going past a town called Middelfart 🤣

[@teneashby5405]

Fantastic, I did the opposite direction and I loved it

[@Beepsa]

Me too! It’s much better than flying, in my view - you get to see more scenery, and I love avoiding airports and the associated palaver if I can.

[@supergran62]

We stayed at the Opera Hotel, right next to the main train station in Oslo, and found it super easy to get to to airport from there. We also did the ferry from Stockholm to Helsinki overnight, on the Silja Symphony

[@flyingthenest]

Oh amazing! glad you found it super easy :)

[@Dicorn22]

As a Norwegian, I think it's important to think about how we deal with waste-especially when visiting beautiful places like Norway. First and foremost, no waste should ever be left in nature. Always take what you bring with you and respect the environment. I also believe we can do more to recycle plastic! I love how close Norway and Denmark are, and I really appreciate how much you and your family respect our country. I hope you have an amazing stay at the Geiranger Hotels, enjoy the stunning fjord, the Sætra and its animals, and of course, Norway's beautiful scenery and midnight sun. Wishing you safe and enjoyable travels in the future in Denmark ♥️

cheapest room on the decks under are often given for free or for like a 13 euros, meals you sill have to pay for so thats where they make the money. usually through different promos or just wining a free cruise when watching a movie in the theaters. tho dfds has just sold the line from the end of oktober so im excited to see whats going to happen next and if its still a cheap mini vacation i can take for fun from copenhagen

[@ThrowBackZone]

Wow, €120 for a cabin and meals included? That's cheaper than some hotels! 😮

[@djohnson5348]

Jess was so surprised at everything on the ferry! It seemed like a cruise not an ordinary ferry. Jess - being a frequent traveler, can you give us tips on motion sickness? Do you take any medications, use the bracelet or any other methods to prevent or lessen it? Thanks!

[@flyingthenest]

Thats why we were so surprsied! we've done ferries before and they were not so suped up like this one! Hmm its hard - everyone has different levles of motion sickness! jess really refuses to take medicine when she doesnt have to!

[@karenhenley2195]

I absolutely love your videos traveling or at home. You have lovely families and friends. I started watching a few months ago and then got caught up on years of previous videos.

Next stop Lego land. And thank you for showing me the inside of the boat. I did not exspect it to be so nice. It passes by my every morning and about 4 pm, every day. And one day I said I am never going on that ferry, when I can hear so loud music from that boat here on my property. But you made me think that maybe is is ok anyway. Couse I heard no loud music on your video. You are a very nice and positive family. And woow 1 ,25 million subscribers.

Highest peak in Denmark are more like a bump in the roads of Norway😂 The ferry is a great way to travel. I like to call it the poor version of a cruise. But yeah they have a lot of activities for kids aboard. You will see similar ferries between Sweden and Finland, between Finland/Sweden and Baltikum/Germany, and also Oslo - Germany . Can still remember my first trip to Denmark and Legoland at age 8. I puked all over the taxfree shop. That was in 1980 And enjoy your stay at Legoland
