Route Overview

The Gdańsk–Nynäshamn ferry is one of the longer Baltic crossings, taking 18 to 20 hours and linking northern Poland with the main sea gateway to Stockholm. Stena Line operates this route, handling significant freight traffic alongside passengers. Nynäshamn is roughly 60 km south of Stockholm with a direct train to the capital, making this a practical entry point into Sweden. The overnight duration means a cabin makes sense for most travellers. Vehicle space fills quickly in summer — book well in advance.

Operators & Schedule

The route is operated by Stena Line with large ro-pax ferries running several times per week. This is one of Stena's key eastern Baltic connections and carries substantial freight alongside leisure passengers.

Onboard Services

Stena Line's Baltic ferries include a restaurant, cafeteria, duty-free shop, cabins in various categories and passenger lounges. A cabin is practically essential on this long crossing. Wi-Fi is available, though signal quality can vary in the middle of the Baltic.

Gdansk

Gdańsk is one of Poland's most historically significant cities, set on the Baltic coast. Stena Line's terminal in Nowy Port is north of the old town and accessible by tram. The city's Hanseatic old town and amber market make it worth a visit before departure.

Nynashamn

Nynäshamn is a small harbour town about 60 km south of Stockholm. A direct train from the ferry terminal reaches Stockholm Central in roughly one hour. The town is also the jumping-off point for the southern Stockholm archipelago.
