Fjord Line
Operates in: NO, DK, SE
Motorhome score: 4/5
Strong point
Motorhome-friendly in practice: Fjord Line supplies the gas seals itself at check-in, permits LPG propulsion, has pet-friendly cabins and lets the animal stay in the vehicle, and the motorhome promotion is bookable until the end of 2027.
