Gdańsk – Nynäshamn
An overnight crossing from Poland to Sweden
The Gdańsk–Nynäshamn route connects Poland's historic port city on the Bay of Gdańsk with the Swedish coastal town of Nynäshamn, around 60 km south of Stockholm. Covering roughly 260 nautical miles across the open Baltic Sea, it's the only direct ferry link between the Tricity area of northern Poland and greater Stockholm – making it the maritime gateway from Poland to central Sweden.
The route is operated year-round by Polferries (Polska Żegluga Bałtycka), Poland's largest ferry operator, using the ships M/F Nova Star and M/F Wawel. The ferry departs in the evening at 18:00 and arrives at its destination the next day at 12:00 – so you travel comfortably overnight. On board you'll find restaurants, cafés, a shop, play areas for children, free WiFi and comfortable cabins with private bathrooms. Whether you're travelling by car, motorhome or as a foot passenger, Gdańsk–Nynäshamn is the direct way from Poland to Sweden.
