As soon as your booking is confirmed, a confirmation email will land in your inbox. What happens next with your boarding pass depends on the operator you've booked.
Some operators issue boarding passes right away, while others need you to check in at the port itself. Where it's supported, the Direct Ferries app lets you check in online in advance.
You'll usually find ticket desks close to the ferry terminal. Giving yourself a little extra time before departure means you can collect tickets and check in without any stress.
Bring your confirmation email and valid photo ID, such as a passport or identity card, to check in. Pet owners should have vaccination and insurance documents on hand, and anyone with a resident discount should carry proof of address.

The Danish town and port of Frederikshavn is located on the north east of coast of the Jutland Peninsular, in the north of the country. Translated to mean "Frederik's Harbour" the town's harbour is a significant transport hub for the town and surrounding area, with regular ferry connections to Sweden and Norway. The town is also known for its fishing.
Visitors to the town have a number of things to see and do. The Palm beach, with its 100 planted palm trees, is a popular attraction along with the Bangsbo Museum, the Frederikshavn Art Museum, the Frederikshavn Shipyard Historical Society, the Tordenskiold Festival and the biannual Light Festival.
Journey times to Norway take between 9 and 12 hours and to Sweden between 2 hours and 3 hours and 15 minutes. There are also ferries to Laeso, an island in the middle of the Kattegat (journey time of 90 minutes) and to the small Hirsholmene archipelago, located in the Kattegat about 7 km to the north east of Frederikshavn.
The city of Oslo is the capital of Norway and is a bit different from many other European cities. Although there are a number of impressive buildings in the city's historical districts of St. Hanshaugen and Frogner, Oslo does not have the architectural gems that other cities have. However, Oslo is a popular place to visit especially amongst those who love the outdoors as it lies next to the Skagerrak Strait and is directly to the south of the green belt area. Known as the North Woods (Nordmarka), hiking and even seasonal skiing are extremely popular here. Visitors should make the most of the Norwegian summer by visiting one of the city's many beaches on the peninsula of Bygdoy area, or take a stroll around the acclaimed Vigeland Sculpture Park. However, if you arrive in the winter, visitors may wish to try their hand at cross-country skiing around the Nordmarka woodlands, or head down to the Holmenkollen Ski Jump and watch one of the regular championships. A recent addition to Oslo is the Nobel Peace Centre, added since this is the city where the Nobel Peace Prize is presented each December.
