Holland Norway Lines was a Dutch ferry company which operated a passenger and car ferry service between Emden, Germany and Kristiansand, Norway three times a week.

The company chartered the cruise ferry Romantika from the Estonian Tallink Grupp for an initial period of three years. The ship has a maximum capacity of 2500 passengers and 350 cars. The crossing took about 18 hours.

The company was founded by Bart Cunnen, and Patrick America.[1] The company aimed to operate emissions-free ships by 2027.[1]

On 30 August 2023, the company announced that it would suspend operations due to financial problems,[2] and on 2 September 2023 it filed for bankruptcy in the Netherlands.[3]
