We travelled to Norway by motorbike in the summer and took the ferry from Hirtshals to Kristiansand on the outward journey. Generally a very relaxed and above all fast crossing, you really don't need a cabin for the 3-4 hours. The price of 60 € is also very fair, only the prices on board are, as usual, very high.
