Passports and travel documents on Fjord Line
Valid identification is required for all passengers on Fjord Line ferries, regardless of age or route. The documents accepted depend on your nationality and destination. Here you'll find a complete overview of what you need to bring.
General requirements
All travel documents must be carried in physical form – digital versions on apps and temporary documents are not accepted at border crossings. The name on your ID must match the name on your ticket.
You are responsible for obtaining the required travel documents. Failure to produce valid ID will be treated as a no-show and the ticket price will not be refunded.
