Fjord Line was founded in 1993. In 1998 the company purchased the MS Jupiter and the Bergen - Newcastle route from Color Line. In 2004 the company expanded to include a much larger ship, the MS Fjord Norway was purchased to operate the Norway - Denmark service.
On 1 January 2008 Fjord Line merged with fast ferry operator Master Ferries. Moving forward, in 2014 Fjord Line became the world's first ferry operator to use contactless radio frequency identification RFID smart cards for the cabin locks.
Fjord Line outlines its sustainability efforts throughout the company in the form of alternative gas. In 2013 and 2014, its cruise ships, MS Stavangefjord and MS Bergensfjord, became the world’s first LNG-powered cruise ships. LNG, a greener form of natural gas, offers up to 25% greater carbon efficiency than other conventional fuels.
