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.
Why
- The ferry sails every day of the week.
- You sleep on board instead of driving through Sweden.
- Cars, pets and large luggage are all allowed.
Details
The ship has restaurants and other facilities on board for the night at sea.
Tip
If you drive on south, Germany is about 3½ hours by car from Copenhagen.
What may differ
Timetables can change with the weather, so check the departure time for your date before you go.
