Route guide

Plan your ferry from Gothenburg to Frederikshavn

The Gothenburg to Frederikshavn crossing links Gothenburg in Sweden with Frederikshavn in Denmark.

For a departure from Gothenburg, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. The Denmark terminal is near Masthugget on the Göta River. Stena Line also has a separate Germany terminal for Kiel, so use the correct terminal instructions.

On the other side of the crossing, Frederikshavn is your arrival port. Frederikshavn is compact, with rail connections through Jutland and straightforward road access north to Skagen.

Compare the Gothenburg departure and Frederikshavn arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Gothenburg to Frederikshavn result when planning your trip rather than assuming the outward timetable applies in reverse.

Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Frederikshavn may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.

Including this crossing in a trip from the UK

Allow for the overland journey to Gothenburg before choosing the ferry. A separately booked flight, train or earlier crossing may not protect you if you miss check-in. Use local times on both sides and check entry rules for each country on your full itinerary. Travel within Europe is not automatically free of document checks.

Planning the wider journey in Denmark

There is no assumption here of a direct ferry from Britain to Denmark. Plan the approach through a Dutch, French or German gateway, then compare Danish domestic crossings and onward sailings to Norway, Sweden or the North Atlantic.

Planning advice for the journey from Britain

Passengers, vehicles and the fare

Select the correct passenger category before comparing Gothenburg to Frederikshavn fares. A passenger-only boat cannot take a car, and a vehicle ferry may still have limited bicycle or foot-passenger availability. The travel modes shown in the facts panel should be checked against the specific sailing.

For a vehicle booking, give the full height and length including a roof box, rear rack or trailer. Where accommodation is offered, check whether a cabin or seat is required and whether meals are included. Request mobility assistance and any pet space before completing the booking, because these can have separate capacity limits.

Prices depend on the date, passenger mix, vehicle and ticket conditions. Compare the complete return cost and the amendment or cancellation terms. No fixed fare on this guide should replace a dated quote.
