Fast crossings and comfortable experiences

Both passenger and freight traffic have made steady progress since the company was founded. In recent years, Color Line has been renewing its fleet. This ensures not only efficient transportation, but also a tourism-oriented sector for short, high-quality cruises. The national and international climate targets are always kept in mind. The greatest interest is to accommodate life, health and the environment in the best possible way.

A touch of luxury alongside transportation

Between Kiel and Oslo, two identical ships of the Color Line shipping company, the Color Fantasy and the Color Magic, alternate on a short cruise with one overnight stay each on the outward and return journey. The ships are very comfortably equipped and offer an on-board program, restaurants, bars and stores as well as additional catering options that can be booked. This type of short cruise from Kiel, with a four-hour stay in Oslo, is very popular with people of all ages.
