Is there a daily ferry from Copenhagen to Oslo?

One night at sea between the two capitals.

Short answer

Yes. As of November 2026 DFDS runs a daily overnight ferry between Copenhagen and Oslo, so you sleep on board on the way. You can take your car, and the route is pet friendly. There are no baggage limits on this crossing, which makes it practical for families and people moving with a lot of luggage. Departure times are given in local time and can change with the weather.
