Is there a ferry from Sandefjord to Strömstad in Sweden?

Who sails the route, how long it takes and what to bring.

Short answer

Yes, Color Line sails between Sandefjord and Strömstad in Sweden with the Color Hybrid, and the crossing takes about 2 hours 30 minutes. Visit Norway lists two departures a day. Fjord Line, which also used to sail this route, stopped in October 2023, so older guides may name the wrong company.

Why

  1. Color Line lists the route between Strömstad and Sandefjord among its four routes, and Sandefjord is 118 km south of Oslo.
  2. Color Line says the crossing on the Color Hybrid takes only 2.5 hours.
  3. Fjord Line's last sailing with MS Oslofjord left Strömstad on 24 October 2023.

Details

There are duty-free shops on board. Color Line advertised one-way fares with a vehicle from 32 euros per person, and prices can change. Arrive at least 30 minutes before departure to keep your reserved place, and book and pay in advance for a faster check-in.

Tip

Bring a passport: Color Line says Norway is introducing border controls on ferries from Sweden, Denmark and Germany, and some places accept only a passport as ID.

What may differ

Day trips with the 17:00 departure have a minimum age of 20, so younger travellers need to pick another departure.

Common misconception

Fjord Line still sails from Sandefjord to Strömstad.

What actually happens

Fjord Line ended the route in October 2023. Color Line sails between Sandefjord and Strömstad.
