FRS Helgoline - 40 years of experience in Heligoland transport

The FRS Helgoline has been active in the Heligoland traffic for 40 years. Our extensive experience in excursion cruises to the high sea island of Heligoland has been incorporated into the development of the new high-speed catamaran "Halunder Jet" - for the best service and comfort for our passengers to and from Heligoland.

The FRS Helgoline is a 100% subsidiary of the FRS Group based in Flensburg. The Förde Reederei Seetouristik GmbH & Co. KG (FRS) looks back on a shipping history of more than 150 years. Since then, FRS has developed from a regional passenger shipping company into an internationally active group of companies and is today one of the leading specialists in the field of ferry shipping in Europe. FRS operates 60 ships and has more than 1,500 employees worldwide. The shipping company operates numerous national and international ferry and catamaran connections and transports around 7.9 million passengers and 2.1 million vehicles per year. FRS is also active in the areas of offshore logistics, port management, crewing and maritime management consultancy.
