How long does the Stena Line crossing take?

A Stena Line crossing between Rostock and Trelleborg takes around 6 hours. Daytime sailings usually stay close to that. Overnight departures often run longer, because the schedule is built around arriving early in the morning rather than sailing as fast as possible.

Actual sailing time varies with the vessel, the departure slot and conditions on the Baltic. Strong winds or heavy swell can add time. Check the timetable above for the scheduled arrival of the departure you are considering.

On board a Stena Line ferry

Facilities differ by vessel, but on this route you can generally expect seating lounges, a restaurant or buffet, a bar, a shop and cabins on selected sailings. On an overnight departure, a cabin is the difference between arriving rested and arriving tired.

Stena Line operates across northern Europe, so travellers combining this crossing with other Scandinavian routes will find the booking process and onboard set-up familiar.

Travelling with a dog or other pet

Pets can generally travel on this route. Conditions depend on the vessel and the fare you book, and some sailings offer pet friendly cabins. Because rules and available facilities change, confirm the current conditions with the operator when you book.

Separately from the operator’s own rules, Sweden and Germany both set entry requirements for animals, covering microchip, rabies vaccination and documentation. Check those well before you travel, not at the terminal.

Stena Line ticket prices

There is no single fixed fare. What you pay depends on:

• the vehicle you bring, measured by length and height
• how many people travel with you
• the date, with peak season, holidays and weekends costing more
• how far ahead you book
• whether you add a cabin

Because TT Line sails the same route, it is worth putting both operators side by side before booking. See the Rostock Trelleborg ferry prices page for a comparison.

Terminals and check-in

Stena Line sails from the ferry terminal in the overseas harbour at Rostock and arrives at the ferry port of Trelleborg. Both terminals are signposted from the main approach roads: the A19 on the German side and the E6 on the Swedish side.

Allow at least 60 to 90 minutes before departure for check-in, and more with a motorhome, a trailer or in peak season. Oversized vehicles are often loaded first or last, so arriving early helps.

Stena Line or TT Line?

Both operators run the same crossing with similar sailing times, so the choice usually comes down to which departure time suits your journey and what the fare is on your dates. Travellers with a fixed schedule tend to pick on departure time; those with flexible dates tend to pick on price.

Worth checking both: TT Line Rostock Trelleborg timetable.

Before you sail

Conditions on the Baltic affect comfort and occasionally the schedule. In autumn and winter, storm warnings can mean delays or cancelled sailings. Check the weather forecast for the crossing before you leave.
