Itinerary & Inspirations

Scandlines ferry Berlin entering the port of Rostock.

Scandlines is the only shipping company to connect the German mainland from Rostock with the port of Gedser on the southern tip of the Danish island of Falster. For the 48-kilometer route through the Mecklenburg Bay and the Kadet Trench, the ferry needs about two hours. Throughout the year, up to ten crossings daily provide a reliable connection between Germany and Denmark. The frequency may vary seasonally.

Start in Rostock ferry port

Scandlines does not have its own port area in the Rostock overseas port; rather, the shipping company is a lessee. This means that you will be served by Scandlines staff at check-in, while Rostock Port staff will take care of your journey to or off the ferry. The shipping company also operates a BorderShop in Rostock.

Journey to the port of departure Rostock

The port of Rostock is easily accessible via the highway network from Hamburg and Berlin. If you arrive by train, you have to change to bus line 49 from Rostock main station in the direction of Seehafen Fähre.
