Including this crossing in a trip from the UK

Allow for the overland journey to Travemünde 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.

Planning advice for the journey from Britain

Passengers, vehicles and the fare

Select the correct passenger category before comparing Travemünde to Trelleborg 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.
