Routes to Malmö

There are very good direct ferry connections to Malmö and southern Sweden from Germany: with Finnlines, StenaLine and TT-Line from Travemünde and Rostock.

Holidaymakers can choose between day and night ferries and sometimes take advantage of special return offers when booking both outward and return journeys at the same time. Another alternative is the crossing from Kiel to Gothenburg.

Travemünde - Malmö

A direct connection from Travemünde to Malmö is possible with Finnlines in just 9 hours: vacationers who have already made a long journey to Travemünde particularly appreciate the convenience of the overnight ferry. There are up to 3 direct departures to Malmö every day - cabins are only compulsory on night trips and when traveling with animals.

Route	Shipping company	Duration
Travemünde - Malmö		approx. 8 hours 45 minutes

Travemünde - Trelleborg

The route from Travemünde to Trelleborg is particularly popular with vacationers and is offered by the German shipping company TT-Lines up to four times a day. In the summer months, TT-Line offers free children's entertainment. The crossing takes approx. 8 hours, from Trelleborg you can reach Malmö via the E6 highway in approx. 30 minutes.

Route	Shipping company	Duration
Travemünde - Trelleborg		approx. 8 hours 15 minutes

Rostock - Trelleborg

If you want to travel from Berlin to Malmö, the ferry from Rostock to Trelleborg is particularly suitable. The crossing takes around 7.5 hours and is offered several times a day (and also overnight) by the two shipping companies Stena Line and TT-Line. The cooperation between the two shipping companies ended in September 2018, so always compare the offers of both providers! From Trelleborg, you can reach Malmö via the E6 highway in approx. 30 minutes.

Rostock - Trelleborg		approx. 5 hours 30 minutes
Rostock - Trelleborg		approx. 6 hours

Sassnitz - Ystad

Since fall 2020, there is again a connection from Sassnitz (on the island of Rügen) to southern Sweden. The old connection to Trelleborg, the so-called "Royal Line", was discontinued by Stena Line in spring 2020 for economic reasons. The new route from Sassnitz to Ystad is operated with a high-speed catamaran, which has reduced the travel time to a sensational 2.5 hours.

Route	Shipping company	Duration
Sassnitz - Ystad		approx. 2,5 hours

Kiel - Gothenburg

This connection is ideal if you not only want to visit Malmö, but also Gothenburg, Stockholm or other regions in Sweden. The onward journey from Gothenburg to Malmö takes approx. 3 hours by car (via the E6 highway).
