FJORD LINE 

 GOOD TO KNOW

 

 Proof of identity requirement

 With effect from 6 March 2007, Fjord Line is introducing a requirement for passengers to present proof of identity on

 all its crossings between Norway and Denmark.

 The following are valid proof of identity:

 Passport - bank card - driving license, with photo.
 Please show proof of identity on your own initiative when embarking.

 

 Before you travel

 All guests must check in their ticket before departure. Latest check-in time is 1 hour before departure. In the summer

 season 2 hours before departure.

 Valid travel documents should be presented at check in.

 Passengers with cars are advised to pack a small bag with all the things you need during the crossing, in advance.

 This way you can leave your heavy luggage in the car.

 There is not much space on the car deck, so please be concentrated and drive slowly both on and off the ship.

 During the crossing, there will be no access to the car deck. The car deck will be closed shortly after departure,

 and will not open until about 20 minutes before arrival. Exact time will be announced over the speaker system.

 What you need to know
 Useful information we recommend that you read before traveling to Norway.


 Pets
 If you want to take your pet with you to Norway you will be required to submit a veterinary certificate  issued by

 Norwegian veterinary authorities and your pet will also require a vaccination and health certificate from a

 veterinary  surgeon.

 minimum age for importing spirits is 20. For importing wine, beer, cigarettes or tobacco the legal minimum of age is

 Driving
 On single-carriage roads outside built-up areas the speed limit for cars is 80 km/h. On motorways it is 90 km/h and in

 towns and villages 50 km/h. The speed limit outside built up areas for camper vans and caravans is 80 km/h, and 60

 km/h for vehicles pulling trailers without brakes.

 In Norway heavy penalties are imposed for exceeding the speed limit. If you drive through a red light you must

 reckon on a fine of NOK 3.000.

 ADAC/NAF
 Norway has a well-developed road network that has lost nothing of its romantic character. The Norwegian

 breakdown service is NAF (Norges Automobil Forbund), the equivalent of the ADAC. Members of the ADAC are

 entitled to free breakdown service. The high price level in Norway means that having your car repaired is a costly

 affair. Some emergency telephones are placed at the roadside along the main tourist routes. If you need breakdown

 help, the NAF alarm centre (tel. 22 34 16 00) has a twenty-four hour service.
 The NAF road patrol vehicles patrol the most important stretches of road between 10 am and 7 pm from 20 June to

 15 August
