Route Overview
Embark on a comfortable and efficient journey across the Baltic Sea with the Liepaja to Travemünde ferry route. This vital connection links the charming Latvian port city of Liepaja with the bustling German port of Travemünde, near Lübeck, serving as a gateway between the Baltic States and Central Europe. Operated primarily by Stena Line, this route offers a relaxed alternative to overland travel, perfect for both passengers with vehicles and foot passengers seeking a seamless crossing. The journey typically takes between 26 to 28 hours, offering ample time to unwind and enjoy the onboard amenities. Ferries on this route are well-equipped to ensure a pleasant voyage, featuring comfortable cabins ranging from budget-friendly options to luxurious suites, restaurants offering a variety of culinary delights, bars, shops, and sometimes even children's play areas and cinemas. Traveling with a car, campervan, or even a bicycle is straightforward, making it an ideal choice for those exploring the wider European continent. While this route operates year-round, the warmer months from May to September offer the most pleasant sailing conditions and longer daylight hours to enjoy the sea views. Booking in advance, especially during peak season, is highly recommended to secure your preferred cabin and departure time.

The Liepāja–Travemünde route is operated by Stena Line, one of Europe's leading ferry companies. The crossing caters to both freight and leisure passengers, with a regular schedule running throughout the year.
Onboard Services
On board there's a restaurant, cafeteria, duty-free shop and cabin accommodation suited to the overnight crossing. The atmosphere is practical rather than elaborate — comfortable enough for a solid night's sleep and a good meal before arriving in Germany or Latvia.
Liepaja
Liepāja is Latvia's third-largest city, set on the Baltic coast in the country's west. The city has a long maritime history and a well-developed port handling both freight and passenger traffic. Liepāja is also known for its beach promenade and relatively lively local music scene — it's a more interesting city than its size might suggest.
Travemunde
Travemünde is the port district of Lübeck in Schleswig-Holstein, combining active ferry traffic with a beach resort character. Lübeck's UNESCO-listed medieval old town is 25 km away. Hamburg is around 70 km and Berlin about 280 km, both well connected by motorway.
