FlashFerryThe night ferry saves a hotel night
Late evening departures arrive the next morning. With a cabin the crossing replaces a night in a hotel — which usually makes the cabin cheaper than a hotel plus a daytime sailing.

How the total price adds up
Two ways lead to southern Sweden – the direct night ferry, or driving via the Fehmarnbelt and the Öresund.
TT-Line & Finnlines · direct
Scandlines + bridge/HH ferry
Rule of thumb: use the night on the direct ferry – or keep daytime flexibility on the land route.
A cabin is almost always worth it on the night crossing: you arrive rested and drive straight on towards Stockholm, the archipelago or Småland.
The most affordable private space, with beds and a private bathroom. Ideal for the overnight crossing.

What the live data and practical experience tell us — so your crossing is cheaper and more relaxed.
Late evening departures arrive the next morning. With a cabin the crossing replaces a night in a hotel — which usually makes the cabin cheaper than a hotel plus a daytime sailing.
Weekends and the start of school holidays are consistently the most expensive on this route. Shifting your departure by a day or two often shows three-figure differences in the timetable above.
Ferry fares rise with occupancy. For high season and motorhomes, book several weeks ahead. Last-minute bargains usually appear only on lightly booked night sailings.
Roof boxes, bike racks and trailers all count towards total length. Understating it means paying extra at the terminal, which costs considerably more than declaring it at booking.
From Hamburg the Skandinavienkai is about an hour by car; Trelleborg puts you 30 minutes from Malmö and an hour from Copenhagen. With your own vehicle and luggage, door-to-door travel times are often competitive with flying.
Each ship has only a handful of cabins where dogs may sleep. In summer they are often booked out weeks ahead, so book early.
Travelling to Sweden with a dog
Sweden is a nation of dog lovers — and the ferry is the least stressful way to get there. No changes, no flight crate, fresh sea air on deck.
Location, getting there and other connections from both ports.
Between 7 and 11 hours depending on the ship and departure. The fastest daytime sailings cover the route in around 7 hours; night crossings run slower, which is ideal for sleeping in a cabin.
