Might be cheaper from Fredrikshavn to Gøteborg. When I go to jylland thats my preference because of cheaper ferry. last time i paid about 80 euro for 2 persons and a car. (2007)

It's the caravan that puts the price up! Never tried just turning up, but who knows?

I don´t think just turning up will help matters...Color Line have fixed fares for everything. Travelling off peak will help a little i.e avoid Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays.

We think there are at least 9 Norwegian vans travelling to the syncro jubilee in Germany. 7 vans are sailing from Kristiansand with the Color Line ferry on Thursday morning at 8am: 4 vans from Kristiansand, 1 from Mandal & 2 from Stavanger. Some others are taking the Oslo-Kiel ferry at 2pm on Wednesday & others are driving via Sweden & Denmark, leaving Norway sometime Wednesday evening.
Have a great time in Norway & hope to meet you in Germany if not before!
