3.3Cancellation insurance in case of illness

In case illness should occur, Fjord Line recommends all passengers take out a voluntary cancellation insurance policy of NOK 150 ( approx. DKK 150 / EUR 20) per passenger. Cancellation insurance must be selected together with the trip. 

Cancellation insurance gives you the right to cancel your trip if a member of your household, or an immediate family member experiences unexpected and serious illness, an accident, or death, and this prevents you from taking the trip or makes it unjustifiable for you to take the trip. An immediate family member is a spouse/cohabitant, sibling, child, parent, grandparent, grandchild, or in-law. You also have the right to cancel if an aforementioned event affects a person in your travel group, and it is unreasonable to demand the trip be taken without said person. 

You must call Fjord Line customer service at +47 51 46 40 99 within normal business hours to report a cancellation and you must do so within regular opening hours. If customer service is closed, you can retain the same rights by e-mailing us at info@fjordline.com. 

In order to receive a refund from Fjord Line under the cancellation insurance, you must send a request to Fjord Line as soon as possible with the reason for the cancellation documented and a medical certificate. The request must be labelled with the booking number. The cancellation insurance entitles you to a refund of the amount paid for the cancelled trip, less the cost of the cancellation insurance. 

If you purchased an alternative trip, where the price of the trip was based on one or more travellers sharing a room, suite, or cabin, the cancellation insurance will cover any additional costs that would have otherwise been incurred as a result of you not being able to take the trip. In these cases, Fjord Line reserves the right to relocate the remaining travellers on the booking to a different, smaller accommodation than originally booked. 

It is highly recommended to have valid travel insurance. If not available, it is necessary to bring a European Health Insurance Card on trips outside of Norway. 

4.Cabins

Cabins (if available, where available) must be booked on night cruises. Please note that on certain sailings you must vacate your cabin a few hours before arrival. The time to vacate will be announced aboard the ship. 

When travelling with on board accommodation, adults and children over 4 y.o. must each have their own bed. Fjord Line does not recommend sun loungers for children under 12 years. Extra mattresses in the cabin are not allowed. A select number of cabins can accommodate a cot. Contact customer service for more information. 

Fjord Line may overbook our cabins. Overbooking is resolved on board with financial compensation to: a) the affected/injured parties or b) those passengers who give up their cabin. 

5.Age Limit

Please note that the age limit applies to unaccompanied minors. 

A guardian is considered to be a person over the age of 25 who is travelling in the parent’s place and who assumes responsibility for the child/children below the age limit. 

There must be at least one guardian per five minors on a cruise and at least one guardian per 10 minors during passenger service.

Guide dogs and service dogs 

Guide dogs and service dogs trained to carry out tasks for the blind and visually impaired or to provide emotional and psychological support travel for free on all our ships. An official letter from a doctor or therapist supporting the need for assistance must be presented at check-in and must stay with the dog during the trip. 

Travellers with guide dogs or service dogs can bring their dogs into selected cabin types. The dog can stay on the floor in most communal areas on board. Travel should be booked well in advance of departure as there is a limited number of spots available. Walking the dog during the crossing can be arranged with the staff on board. We urge travellers to show consideration to anyone on board who may have allergies. 

Wheelchair users with vehicles 

If a wheelchair user requires more room than the length of their car and needs parking near an elevator on the car deck, please inform us of this at booking and also at check-in. To ensure that you are adequately accommodated, please be at the terminal at least 90 minutes prior to departure. 

Baby strollers in vehicles 

If you need to use a stroller on board our ships, you must notify us of this at check-in. To ensure the best possible alignment and placement on the car deck, please be at the terminal at least 90 minutes prior to departure. 

8.Proof of identity

Travelers are responsible for any expenses incurred if the entry permit is not granted in the destination country, for example, due to missing travel or identification papers. This also applies to expenses incurred in connection with the return journey.

What is considered valid identification when crossing the border depends on your nationality and your destination country. The identification must match the name on the ticket. This applies to both domestic and international travel.

If travelers are unsure about the entry rules, they must contact the relevant authorities in the destination country. See also here.

Important: In addition to a valid travel document, all travelers must bring valid identification in physical form. Exceptions apply to Nordic children sailing with at least one parent.

Fjord Line reserves the right to reject travelers who cannot present a valid travel document or appropriate identification papers. In these cases, the journey is considered a no-show and the ticket price will not be refunded.

The authorities have introduced 100% ID checks when entering Norway.

The following requirements apply:

Nordic citizens:  
Passengers who are citizens of one of the Nordic countries can identify themselves by showing either a passport, national ID card, physical driving licence (digital driving licences on apps or temporary driving licences are not accepted) or bank card with photo. Children travelling without parents must bring their own passport*.  
 
EU/EEA and Schengen citizens
Passengers from the EU/EEA or a Schengen country must bring either a national ID card or a passport. This also applies to children under the age of 18 sailing with a parent*.  
 
Citizens from countries outside the EU/EEA and Schengen area:
Passengers from countries outside the EU/EEA, Schengen or the Nordic countries who can travel visa-free must bring a passport. Passengers from countries outside the EU/EEA, Schengen or the Nordic countries who need a visa must bring both a passport and a visa (or a passport and a residence permit). This also applies to children under the age of 18 sailing with a parent*

Note: An asylum seeker’s certificate is not considered valid identification when crossing the border. This also applies to children under the age of 18 sailing with a parent*.  
 
*Children  
All Nordic children sailing without at least one parent, as well as children of any other nationality (even if sailing with minimum one parent), must bring their own travel and identification documents, including any visas or residence permits.  
 
Children/persons under the age limit sailing without at least one parent must travel with a guardian who has completed and signed the guardianship form. The form must be submitted no later than 48 hours before departure and must be sent to info@fjordline.com. Current age limits per route are listed under section 5: Age limit.  
 
In addition to the documents mentioned here, it is strongly recommended that children sailing abroad with a guardian instead of at least one parent, bring with them a power of attorney signed by all parties with parental responsibility. 

9.Transport of living animals

Living animals are transported at the owner’s risk and responsibility. Please note that Norway and most other countries in Europe have very specific regulations regarding the importing of live animals. For more information and application forms, contact a veterinarian or the Norwegian Food Safety Authority. 

Transportation of small animals is permitted. Three animals are allowed per booking. Pets must stay in the car or in pre-booked kennel/dog storage, where available. Supervision and walking during the crossing can be arranged with the crew on board. Except for guide/service dogs, pets are not allowed in common areas or cabins. 

Horse trailers as well as horse-drawn vehicles must be ordered via customer service at + 47 51 46 40 99.

A fee of approx. 400 NOK will be charged for this. Fjord Line Freight must be contacted in advance if assistance is required for preparing customs papers.

 

 

10.Luggage/travel goods

You may bring luggage up to 50 kg or half a cubic meter free of charge. It must be stored in a vehicle during the trip. Furniture, boxes, large suitcases, etc. not stored in a vehicle is considered cargo and must be paid in accordance with.the tariff. For this type of cargo, you must contact Fjord Line Freight.  

Fjord Line is not responsible for money, securities and other valuables (e.g. gold, silver, jewels, jewelry, art, etc.) unless these are stored by Fjord Line. 

Firearms, ammunition, explosives, electronic waste, or other dangerous goods are not allowed on board without prior written consent from Fjord Line. Dangerous goods must be labelled according to regulations. The same applies to transport vehicles. Any prohibited items found will be seized. 

Each driver is responsible for ensuring that their vehicle is parked in their designated space on the ship, with the parking brake on. The vehicle must be set in the lowest gear with the alarm off and the doors locked. Refusal to do so entails liability for the driver in the event of any loss or damage. 

Regulations for domestic travel with luggage/travel goods 

Hand luggage 

As a traveller, you may bring one item of hand luggage into the common areas of the ship. Maximum dimensions: 55 x 40 x 23 cm. Maximum total weight: 15 kg. You may also bring one extra item. This could be, for example, a small handbag or laptop case. Maximum dimensions: 25 x 33 x 20 cm. 

Damaged luggage 

If your luggage was damaged during crossing you must show it to a Fjord Line representative at the terminal, as well as a receipt for the delivered luggage and your travel documents. Depending on how your luggage was damaged, we will either repair it or compensate you for the value of the luggage at the time of its damage. 

The transportation conditions make scratches, marks, dents, and other minor luggage damage common. Fjord Line assumes that as a guest you understand we cannot be responsible for compensating for normal wear and tear. If the contents of your luggage are damaged (without damage to the outside of your luggage), we recommend contacting your insurance company. 

Luggage delivery
Upon arrival at the terminal. 

11.Delay and cancellation

In accordance with.EU Regulation 1177/2010, passengers have certain rights in the event of cancellation or delay. It should be noted there are a number of exceptions to these rights, including if the delay or cancellation is due to weather conditions. Each case will be assessed and this section provides only a general overview of each individual’s possible applicable rights.  

Delayed or cancelled departure 

In the event of delay or cancellation, each passenger shall be informed as quickly as possible. Fjord Line aims for all affected passengers to be informed within 30 minutes of the scheduled timetable. Each passenger will also receive information on the expected arrival and departure time as soon as such information is available. 

In the event of a cancellation or delay of more than 90 minutes of the scheduled timetables, Fjord Line will provide travellers with snacks, food, or refreshments that are reasonable in relation to the waiting time and that are reasonably obtainable.  

In case of a cancelled departure or a delayed departure by more than 90 minutes, each passenger can choose to either continue their trip, cancel with a refund of their paid fare, or rebook. Should a passenger choose to cancel their ticket, they will be offered a free return to their point of departure (according to their ticket), where relevant. Any rebooking must be made for the next available departure under corresponding travel conditions. These options do not apply if Fjord Line can prove that the interruption or delay was due to weather conditions that could have jeopardised the safety of the ship. 

Delayed arrival 

In case of delayed arrival at the final destination according to the ticket used, each passenger may claim a refund for parts of their paid ticket. For one-way tickets, the refund is calculated based on the actual fare paid for the trip. For round-trip cruises, the refund is calculated based on 50% of the fare paid for the trip. 

Compensation is calculated based on the price paid for all passengers, vehicles, and cabins. 

A refund of 25% of the paid ticket for a delay of at least: 

• 1 hour where the crossing lasts up to 4 hours 
• 2 hours where the crossing lasts more than 4 hours but less than 8 hours 
• 3 hours where the crossing lasts more than 8 hours but less than 24 hours 
• 6 hours where the crossing lasts more than 24 hours 

If a delay exceeds twice any of the above times, 50% of the ticket price will be refunded.  

Compensation is not granted if Fjord Line can prove that the interruption or delay was due to weather conditions that could have jeopardised the safety of the ship or that could not have been avoided with reasonable measures. 

12.Liability for loss or damage

For passenger liability, Fjord Line operates in accordance with Chapter 15 of the Maritime Act and EU Regulation 392/2009. Fjord Line is obliged to compensate losses that are caused by the death or injury of passengers during the trip, including shipwreck, collision, stranding, explosion, fire, or ship failure. Fjord Line’s liability is limited to SDR 250,000 per passenger. If the incident is caused by errors or negligence on the part of Fjord Line, the liability is limited to SDR 400,000 per passenger.

Fjord Line is not liable for damage to a passenger or loss of life that occurs before boarding or disembarking. Similarly, Fjord Line is not liable for delays that occurred before boarding or disembarking. Fjord Line is not liable for goods before the goods were brought on the ship or after the goods were taken ashore. Fjord Line is not liable for any loss or damage caused by passengers to themselves or any third parties. Fjord Line is not liable for matters beyond Fjord Line’s control. 

In addition to that which is stated in the Travel Terms and Conditions, Fjord Line reserves the right to apply the liability limitations at any time as provided by applicable legislation. 

Each traveller is liable for damages for loss, damage, or vandalism caused by the traveller or anyone the traveller is responsible for. 

13.Reservation Terms and Conditions

Fjord Line reserves the right to modify published prices and times, as well as the right to a surcharge as a result of changes in exchange rates, bunker prices, or imposed taxes and fees from the state. Fjord Line also reserves the right to modify the route and itinerary of Fjord Line vessels. 

If necessary, Fjord Line reserves the right to cancel any trip with a refund of the paid fare or change to the next available departure, and to replace any ship listed on the ticket and/or online. 

14.Safety

Each passenger must comply with regulations on order and safety aboard the ship. 

For safety reasons, passengers, luggage, and vehicles can be searched before boarding is permitted. If a passenger refuses to allow this, they can be denied boarding without a refund of the paid ticket. Fjord Line has the right to deny boarding to any drunk/intoxicated traveller. Such cases are processed as cancellations. 

Fjord Line can detain any traveller who poses a threat or is a serious bother to fellow passengers during the crossing. Any passenger who damages company property or becomes a liability to the company or fellow passengers will be held liable for such losses. 

Fjord Line has the right to deny passengers boarding or disembarking during the trip if, in the captain’s opinion, they are unfit for travel or may be a danger to their own safety. If a traveller is disembarked or denied boarding, the paid ticket will not be refunded. 

15.Lost property

Personal items found on board are stored for one month at our ticket office in Stavanger and Sandefjord. Fjord Line is not liable for such items. Fjord Line does not store passports and bank cards. These are sent to the police or relevant bank. After one month, valuables are transferred to Rogaland district police. Other lost goods are discarded or sent to Fretex. 

16.Complaints

In the event of lost or damaged luggage, passengers must notify Fjord Line in writing without undue delay after they become or should have become aware of the circumstances justifying a possible claim for compensation:  

(a) for hand luggage: before or during the passenger’s disembarking 

(b) for all other travel goods (including vehicles): before or during delivery thereof and before disembarking.  

If these provisions are not met, all luggage is considered to be in undamaged condition when boarding/disembarking, and will result in the passenger being ineligible for any compensation, unless proven otherwise.  

The above written notification requirement will be considered fulfilled if the passenger’s luggage has been control checked or inspected during the passenger’s stay aboard the ship, and the condition of said luggage was duly reported on the ship’s loss/ damage reporting form.  

It should be noted that the ship’s reporting form is only a record of incurred loss/damage aboard the ship and does not decide any liability.  

Claims for compensation must be made in writing or by e-mail at info@fjordline.com 

 and no later than two months after departure. Copies of tickets and other relevant documentation must be attached.  

Transport complaints 

If you do not agree with Fjord Line’s conclusion of a case, you can send an appeal to the Transport Complaints Board for boat trips. The Board handles complaints concerning shipping companies, travel agencies, and ports. Complaint handling is free for passengers. 

Complaints are sent to the Norsk ReiselivsForum via the website, which is the secretariat for the Transport Complaints Board and the Package Travel Board. The case must be heard by the Board within one year of the customer’s submission of a written complaint to Fjord Line AS. For more information, call our switchboard at +47 22 54 60 00 or visit us online at https://reiselivsforum.no/.

17.Dispute Resolution

Any dispute shall be settled by legal action against Fjord Line AS, Postboks 513, 4379 Egersund. The Dalane District Court shall be regarded as the adopted jurisdiction in such a case.
