On our catamaran Fjord FSTR between Hirtshals and Kristiansand, your dog is welcome on board. The crossing is fast and straightforward – and with a little planning both you and your dog can enjoy a comfortable journey. Here is everything you need to know.
Remember to also read our information about bringing your dog to Norway, so you know which documents to bring and which rules – written and unwritten – apply when taking your dog on holiday to Norway.
On the Fjord FSTR your dog can stay in one of two places during the crossing: in the car or on the aft deck.
You can leave your dog in the car during the crossing. Please note that the car deck is locked throughout the entire journey and you have no way of visiting your dog on your own. In certain cases, and only if the crew has the capacity, a crew member may be able to accompany you to the car.
In summer we recommend not leaving your dog in the car, as it can get very warm on the car deck. The aft deck is a much better alternative during this period..
If you'd prefer to have your dog with you during the crossing, you're welcome to bring them to the aft deck and the lounge by the aft deck. This is a great option – particularly in summer – and allows you to keep an eye on your dog throughout the journey.
Dogs are not permitted in any other areas of the ship.

Always bring your own food and water bowls for your dog on the journey.
Book easily and directly in the booking process – and bring your dog along for a comfortable crossing between Denmark and Norway.
