7 money-saving tips for cheap ferries to Sweden

Whichever operator you choose, these tricks will get you a noticeably cheaper crossing to Sweden.

Book early

The cheapest fares (SPECIAL, Early Booker, SMART) are limited in number. Book 2–3 months ahead to secure the lowest prices – savings of 15–30% over last-minute bookings are common.

Sail midweek

Tuesday to Thursday sailings are noticeably cheaper than weekends. With Stena Line, Tuesday-to-Wednesday departures are often 20–30% below the weekend fare.

Travel off-peak

October to April brings the lowest prices, especially January, February and November. September is also a good compromise: the weather still holds up, but off-peak fares already apply.

Book the return crossing together

Finnlines gives a 20% discount on the return leg when booked together. TT-Line offers return packages with up to 20% off. Almost always worth it.

Join a loyalty programme

The free Finnlines Star Club gives 5% off every booking. Stena Line Plus also offers points and member rates. Worth signing up before your first booking.

Check other-language booking sites

Booking through the Swedish version of the Stena Line website (stenaline.se) can sometimes turn up noticeably cheaper fares – savings of up to €60 have been reported.

Always book online

All operators charge a premium at the port ticket counter. Scandlines adds 5%, while TT-Line and Stena Line reserve their cheapest fares for online bookings only.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ: Ferry prices to Sweden

How much does the ferry to Sweden cost with a car?+
The cheapest direct ferry is TT-Line, from €49 on the Rostock–Trelleborg route (car + driver, SMART ticket, one way). Stena Line prices on the same route start from €60. Finnlines offers Travemünde–Malmö from €97 for 2 people with a car on the SPECIAL fare. The Scandlines Sweden Ticket (ferry + Øresund Bridge) starts from €102. In peak season, prices are considerably higher across every route and operator.
Which ferry to Sweden is the cheapest?+
TT-Line generally has the lowest base prices and is on average 10–20% cheaper than Stena Line on the same route (Rostock–Trelleborg). The Scandlines Sweden Ticket via Denmark is good value from €102, though you'll also need to factor in the drive across Denmark. For the longer crossing to Gothenburg, Stena Line's overnight ferry from Kiel has no direct competitor on that route.
How much does the ferry to Sweden cost with a motorhome?+
Motorhome prices depend heavily on vehicle length. On the Rostock–Trelleborg route, prices start from around €65 (TT-Line) and €79 (Stena Line). With Finnlines, vehicles up to 6 m pay the car rate (from €97 for 2 people). Longer motorhomes always carry a surcharge. The TT-Line camper package, with 50% off the length surcharge, is particularly good value for campers.
When is the cheapest time to take the ferry to Sweden?+
The lowest prices are found in the off-peak season from October to April – especially January, February and November. Midweek sailings (Tuesday to Thursday) are a further 20–30% cheaper than weekends. Booking 2–3 months ahead secures the best limited-availability fares. September is a good compromise: the weather is still pleasant, but off-peak prices already apply.
Do children travel free on the ferry to Sweden?+
Rules vary by operator. With Scandlines, up to 9 occupants (children included) travel under the car ticket. With TT-Line, children up to 6 years old are exempt from the fuel surcharge and ETS fee. With Finnlines, children up to 5 travel free in their parents' cabin (without their own berth). In general, children are usually included in the vehicle price or pay a reduced fare.
Do I need a cabin on the ferry to Sweden?+
It depends on the route and departure time. On short crossings (Puttgarden–Rødby: 45 min) no cabin is needed. On the 6-hour Rostock–Trelleborg route, a cabin is optional for daytime sailings but compulsory for overnight ones. On the long overnight ferries (Kiel–Gothenburg: 14.5 hrs, and the Travemünde–Malmö night sailing), booking a cabin is mandatory.
What is the Scandlines Sweden Ticket?+
The Sweden Ticket is a combined ticket from Scandlines that bundles the ferry crossing from Germany to Denmark (Puttgarden–Rødby or Rostock–Gedser) with the onward journey to Sweden – either via the Øresund Bridge or the Helsingør–Helsingborg ferry. Everything is booked as a single ticket and is often cheaper than booking each leg separately.
