Departing from Grenaa
Grenaa is an East Jutland port and a gateway to Djursland. Its former Stena Line connection ended on 30 April 2026.
Grenaa is connected by road and regional public transport with Aarhus and the Djursland area. The ferry harbour is separate from parts of the town centre.
For ferry planning, start with the sailing rather than the sightseeing itinerary. Check the exact port, boarding time and passenger or vehicle conditions, then work backwards to decide where to stay and how much transfer time is needed. International sailings require enough time for terminal procedures, particularly with a vehicle.
Stena Line discontinued the Grenaa–Halmstad ferry route on 30 April 2026. It is no longer an operating Stena Line passenger crossing. For a Denmark–Sweden ferry alternative, compare Frederikshavn–Gothenburg and allow for the different road journey at each end.
Use the terminal or pier named on your operator confirmation. The published departure is the sailing time; check-in and vehicle acceptance close earlier. If reaching Grenaa by train or bus, allow for the transfer from the station to the harbour and for luggage handling.
Arriving in Halmstad
Halmstad is a Swedish west-coast city with beaches and access to the Halland coast. Its former Stena Line connection ended on 30 April 2026.
Halmstad has motorway and rail connections along Sweden’s west coast. The former Grenaa ferry is no longer operating; plan travel to an alternative port if you need a Denmark–Sweden crossing.
For ferry planning, start with the sailing rather than the sightseeing itinerary.

Start your onward itinerary at the actual landing point in Halmstad. Leave time to unload before a timed collection, train or island bus. If the ferry arrives late in the day, check the final public-transport departure or arrange a transfer in advance.
Including this crossing in a trip from the UK
Allow for the overland journey to Grenaa 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 Sweden
A UK journey normally involves a separate continental approach. Southern Swedish ports suit different road corridors; an overnight sailing can be useful when matched with the drive or railway journey on both sides.
