in the early 80s i visited kristiansand,arendal and tromoy (spl) ive always wanted to return there camping but i have heard there is no direct ferry link from the uk to norway as all fery links between the two have ceased..

ive done a search and cant find much regarding getting there in a small van.

be grateful for any advice or info..

thank you jason

Newcastle to Bergen i believe, they certainly were doing that route two years ago with Scandinavian Seaways.

We love Norway too, but mostly explore it via the Coastal voyage ships, or for next year by the Thomson cruiseship upto the North Cape of Finmark and the land of the midnight sun.

thats what i thought i remember seeing a newcastle to kristiansand aswell but cant find anything now..

We have sailed the Newcastle to Bergen route a few times, and luckily we have never had a rough crossing either way. They did stop the sailings from the port for the last two years, but are recomencing them for 2012 for the Thomson ships by popular demand, so im wondering if the ferry will do likewise. in the past the two ships have both sailed within about an hour of eachother and followed similar routes.

I've read in my newly purchased Germany Lonely Planet guide book (latest edition) a route from Germany to Norway via ferry approx 255 euro's.  I'm sorry I cannot quote the wording or name the ferry company as I have lent the book to my mum and she's on holiday.

I've just had a look online and it's Kiel to Oslo and it's run by Color Lines.  It might be quicker than driving!
