Ferry Tickets

Ferry operators sell tickets for people and vehicles. Scandlines tickets are typically sold per vehicle (including a set number of passengers) or per foot passenger, with separate prices for bicycles, motorcycles, campervans and trailers. Scandlines ferry tickets may be for a specific departure or allow more flexibility.

A scandlines ticket booking or scandlines ferry ticket purchase is completed through the operator. Scandlines online tickets are normally delivered as a booking reference or e-ticket, and some terminals recognise vehicles by licence plate. Always read the conditions shown at checkout.

Ferry Booking

The general scandlines booking process looks like this:

  1. Choose the route and direction.
  2. Select travel date and preferred departure.
  3. Enter your vehicle type and dimensions, and the number of passengers.
  4. Compare ticket types and their conditions.
  5. Pay on the official site and save your confirmation.

A scandlines ferry booking or scandlines ferry reservation made in advance gives certainty in busy periods. When you book scandlines ferry online through scandlines online booking, double-check names, vehicle plate and dates before paying.

  • Travel dates — summer, weekends and holidays are busier.
  • Advance booking — earlier booking can mean lower prices.
  • Fare conditions — changes and refunds may cost more.

Ferry and Bridge Combinations

Travelling from Germany to Sweden by car usually means a ferry crossing between Germany and Denmark, a drive through Denmark, and then the Øresund Bridge from Copenhagen to Malmö. This is a ferry germany to sweden journey in practice, but not a direct ferry service.

Who operates what?

  • Ferry operator: Scandlines runs the Puttgarden – Rødby and Rostock – Gedser ferries.
  • Bridge operator: the Øresund Bridge is run by Øresundsbron, a separate company with its own tolls.
  • Helsingør – Helsingborg: Scandlines operated this northern ferry route until 2018. It is now operated by a different company, so scandlines helsingor helsingborg searches may refer to the past.

Combination tickets

Ferry-and-bridge offers (sometimes searched as scandlines combination ticket, scandlines oresund bridge or ferry and bridge ticket sweden) have been available at times. Check whether one is currently offered on the official ferry and bridge websites before planning around it.
