From Germany to Trelleborg
Trelleborg calls itself Scandinavia's largest RoRo port. For you that means many departures, short distances from the ramp to the road, and direct connections to Malmö and Copenhagen. Two routes lead here from Germany.
Rostock - Trelleborg
The fastest connection from Germany. Stena Line runs the ferries Skåne and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, sailing up to six times a day, by day and at night. TT-Line also serves the route, and the crossing takes around 6 hours with either operator. Since both operators sail it, it's worth comparing departure times on the Rostock - Trelleborg page.
Travemünde - Trelleborg
From Travemünde near Lübeck, TT-Line sails to Trelleborg up to eight times a day, and the crossing takes around 8 hours. With an overnight sailing you save a travel day and arrive in Sweden well rested in the morning. Details on the Travemünde - Trelleborg page.
From Poland and Lithuania to Trelleborg
Świnoujście - Trelleborg
For travellers from Berlin, Brandenburg and Saxony, Świnoujście is often closer than the Baltic ports in Schleswig-Holstein. TT-Line has sailed from here to Trelleborg since 2014, taking around 6.5 hours with up to ten departures a week. The Polish operator POLSCA Baltic Ferries, which includes Unity Line, also runs the route. More under Świnoujście - Trelleborg.
Klaipėda - Trelleborg
TT-Line has connected Trelleborg with Klaipėda in Lithuania since 2018, and DFDS also sells crossings on the route. There are up to three departures a week, and the crossing takes around 19 hours. Foot passengers are just as welcome as cars, motorbikes, motorhomes and bicycles. Full details on the Klaipėda - Trelleborg page.
Terminal & check-in
Stena Line docks at the terminal at Norra Nyhamnsgatan 1A, 231 61 Trelleborg. The terminal is open Monday to Friday from 05:15 to 23:45, Saturdays from 05:15 to 23:30 and Sundays from 06:30 to 23:00. Foot and bike passengers check in with Stena Line at Hamngatan 9 and take the terminal bus to the ship. With a vehicle, aim to be at check-in 60 minutes before departure, on foot 30 minutes. Stena Line doesn't accept cash at the port or on board; payment is by Visa, Mastercard or Maestro.
TT-Line's ferries dock at Norra Nyhamnsgatan 1b. With a vehicle, check-in closes 30 minutes before departure for the sailing to Germany, and 60 minutes before for Poland and Lithuania. Foot passengers check in with TT-Line at the railway station (Kontinentplan 2), at the latest 45 minutes before departure, and take the shuttle bus to the ship.
Getting there & parking
From Malmö, the E6 and E22 lead directly to the terminal; from Ystad you come via road 9 or the E65. Around the Stena terminal there are paid short- and long-stay car parks, plus a drop-off and pick-up zone. There's no dedicated car park at the TT-Line berth, but there is a small public car park next door.
Without a car, take the Pågatåg run by Skånetrafiken to Trelleborg Centralstation. Regional buses from across Skåne also stop there. From the station it's less than five minutes on foot to the Stena check-in on Hamngatan, and taxis wait at the station too.
Onward travel from Trelleborg
Malmö is around 30 km away, and from there the Öresund Bridge leads on to Copenhagen. Ystad lies about 45 km to the east, with fast ferries to Bornholm from there; more on our Ystad page. If you're heading for the west coast, go via Halmstad to Gothenburg.
Before setting off, a short stop in town is worthwhile: not far from the ferry terminal is a former Viking fortress, and Trelleborg is nicknamed the City of Palms.
