If your navigation system asks for a specific address, Zum Fährterminal 1, 18147 Rostock is the one ferry passengers need. The general port address covers the wider harbour administration, not the passenger terminal.

Getting to the port

The ferry terminal sits in the Überseehafen, north of the city. By car you approach it on the A19, which runs down to Berlin and connects onward to Hamburg and the rest of Germany. Once you are close, follow the signs for Überseehafen or Fährterminal rather than for Rostock city centre.

During holiday periods, allow extra time for traffic around the port entrance on top of the check-in time below.

Check-in

Allow at least 60 to 90 minutes before departure. Arrive earlier if you are travelling with a motorhome, a caravan or a trailer, in peak season, or with a pet, since those all add time at the desk. Oversized vehicles are usually loaded first or last.

Exact check-in deadlines differ by operator and ticket type, so the time printed on your booking confirmation always takes precedence over the guidance here.

Facilities in the port

• Restaurant, usually open Monday to Friday from 7:00 to 14:00
• Small supermarket and snacks, usually open daily from 6:00 to 22:00
• ATMs
• Toilets
• Waiting areas for ferry passengers
• Vehicle lanes for check-in and boarding

Opening hours can change and options are limited outside daytime hours, so bring what you need if you are on an early or late sailing.

Operator terminals

Both operators use the same terminal area in the Überseehafen at Zum Fährterminal 1, 18147 Rostock. The exact lane and desk can vary by departure, so follow the signage and your ticket on arrival.
