Facts we can point to
Addresses, phones, cabin names, sailing times and legal notices come from Color Line, Paf, Lovdata and Lotteritilsynet. Where a number is unpublished — live table counts, jackpots, unpublished fares — we leave the blank.
Publisher / About
A London desk reading an Oslo sailing — labelled as such on every page.
brightmintagency.com is an independent informational guide. It is not the website of Color Line AS, Color Fantasy, Color Magic or Paf — and it never pretends to be.
The ships fly the Norwegian flag. The publisher is British. The distance is labelled here.
BrightMint Agency LTD publishes this site so English- and Norwegian-speaking travellers can assemble an Oslo–Kiel stay from public sources. We point to official booking engines. We do not hold cabin inventory, take ferry deposits, or operate games of chance.
The subject is Color Line’s overnight cruise hotels between Filipstad and Norwegenkai. The desk is in London. Header, footer and this page say so on purpose.
A guide, not a concierge. A reading, not a reservation.
We rewrite public Color Line, Paf and Norwegian-law facts in our own words. We leave unpublished numbers blank. We send you to the operator when a cabin or a table is at stake.
Booking lives elsewhere
The inquiry form on this site is a message to our editorial desk. Keys, rates and availability sit on colorline.com / colorline.no. Casino doors remain with Paf and Color Line’s ship staff.
Adult, at sea, Norwegian rules
The deck-6 salon is 18+. Recreational play only. Norway does not license a private land casino in Oslo; this guide describes a ferry product. Helpline: Hjelpelinjen 800 800 40.
BrightMint Agency LTD — London editorial desk.
This is the publisher letterhead for the guide, not Color Line’s reception at Hjortnes. We do not speak for ship staff.

One real hotel-casino — two hulls that actually sail.
The hotels we describe are Color Line’s Color Fantasy (2004, 966 cabins) and Color Magic (2007, 1,016 cabins). Oslo terminal: Color Line AS, Filipstadveien 2, 0250 Oslo. Kiel: Norwegenkai, 24143 Kiel. Daily departure 14:00, arrival 10:00. Casino: deck 6, operator entertainment Paf, age 18.
We chose working ships — not a composite — so maps, phones and booking engines can be checked against the same addresses. Official pages remain the source of truth for fares, tables and opening hours.
- Color Line booking telephone published for travellers: +47 22 94 42 00.
- Organisation number Color Line AS: 970 903 968. Reception Hjortnes: +47 22 94 44 00.
- Paf’s long-term deal covering five Color Line passenger ships is described on our history page — we still do not take bets.
What this site is not.
Distance is the point: a British company writing about Norwegian-flagged ships, labelled as such in the header, the footer and here.
Not a booking engine
We do not process ferry payments or issue cabin confirmations. A message through this site is a non-binding inquiry to BrightMint Agency LTD.
Not a casino operator
We do not deal chips, run games or hold a Norwegian gaming concession. Paf supplies the entertainment Color Line names on deck 6.
Not the hotel press office
We do not speak for Color Line AS, Color Fantasy, Color Magic or Paf. Crew questions belong on their phones and sites.
Not a price comparison shop
We refuse invented fares, jackpots and live table counts. If Color Line has not published a figure, this page stays silent.
