What the Rostock Trelleborg ferry costs
There is no fixed fare on this route. What you pay comes down to your vehicle, your dates and how far ahead you book.
Prices and availability via Direct Ferries
Biggest factor
Your vehicle
Fares are set by length and height, so a car costs far less than a motorhome or a car with a caravan. Measure yours including roof box and bike rack.
Timing
Peak season, school holidays and weekends cost noticeably more. Booking months ahead is the single cheapest thing you can do.
Two operators
TT Line and Stena Line price the same crossing differently, so comparing is almost always worth it.
There is no fixed fare on this route. Both TT Line and Stena Line use dynamic pricing, so what you pay depends on the vehicle, the date, how far ahead you book and how full the sailing is. This page explains what moves the price and roughly where the levels sit.
The figures below are indications, not quotes. Always check the live fare for your own dates before booking.
Indicative price levels
| Travel type | Typical range, one way | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Foot passenger | around €28 to €60 | Usually the cheapest option |
| Car with driver | around €49 to €150 | Depends on season and availability |
| Car with passengers | around €70 to €200 | Each extra passenger adds to the fare |
| Motorhome up to 6m | around €110 to €260 | Length is the main factor |
| Motorhome 6m to 7m | around €140 to €320 | Longer vehicles cost more |
| Car with caravan | around €150 to €350 | Priced on total length |
| Cabin or reserved seat | extra | Worth it on evening and overnight sailings |
What moves the price
- Vehicle type – car, motorhome, caravan or motorcycle
- Vehicle length and height – the biggest single factor for motorhomes and caravans
- Number of passengers – driver and passengers are charged separately on most fares
- Date and season – peak summer, school holidays and weekends cost noticeably more
- Departure time – popular sailings fill first and price accordingly
- Cabin or reserved seat – mainly relevant on overnight crossings
- Ticket flexibility – changeable tickets cost more than fixed ones
- How early you book – usually the easiest saving to make
Motorhome and caravan fares
Motorhomes cost more than cars because they take more deck space, and the fare is banded by length. The step between a vehicle under 6 metres and one between 6 and 7 metres is significant, so measure before you book.
Measure the whole thing, not just the body: roof boxes, bike racks and towbar-mounted carriers all count towards the length and height you declare. Getting this wrong at check-in can mean paying the difference at the desk.
Car fares
A car with one driver is the cheapest vehicle ticket on this route. Promotional fares at the bottom of the range appear on quiet midweek sailings in low season, not on a Friday in July.
Adding passengers, a cabin and luggage extras moves the total up quickly, so compare the full basket rather than the headline vehicle price.
Prices in the other direction
Trelleborg to Rostock is the same crossing and the same pricing logic, but fares are set per direction and per date. On a return trip the two legs can differ, so it is worth pricing them separately as well as together.
Getting a lower fare
Book early and stay flexible on the departure time. Midweek sailings are often cheaper than weekends, and low season is cheaper than summer across the board. Because both operators run the same route, comparing them on your exact dates is the other reliable saving.
One caveat: the cheapest sailing is not always the best one. A fare that saves twenty euros but lands you in Trelleborg at an hour that adds a night’s accommodation is a false economy, particularly if you are driving on into Sweden afterwards. Check the timetable alongside the price.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Rostock Trelleborg ferry cost?
It depends mainly on your vehicle and your dates. A foot passenger sits at the bottom of the range and a car with a caravan at the top. The table above gives indicative levels.
What does a motorhome cost?
More than a car, and the fare is banded by length. A motorhome under 6 metres is cheaper than one between 6 and 7 metres.
Why do motorhomes cost more?
They occupy more deck space. Length is the main input to the fare, with height mattering on some decks.
Is the return direction priced the same?
Not necessarily. Fares are set per direction and per date, so price both legs when planning a return trip.
How do I get the cheapest ticket?
Book early, avoid peak dates and weekends where you can, and compare both operators on your exact travel dates.
Do I need a cabin?
Only on overnight sailings, where it is the difference between arriving rested and arriving tired. On a daytime crossing a seat is enough.
