Three ways to Visby
Gotland is Sweden's largest island – and Visby, its medieval capital, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995. Three connections bring you to the island from various departure points.
Oskarshamn → Visby
The more southern of the two mainland connections departs from the small port of Oskarshamn on the east coast of Småland. The crossing leads through open Baltic Sea waters and offers impressive coastal views in good weather.
Modern high-speed ships ensure a comfortable crossing with onboard restaurant, outdoor decks and cabin option – ideal for travelers from southern and central Sweden.

Nynäshamn → Visby
The main route to Gotland departs from Nynäshamn, around 60 km south of Stockholm – directly accessible by commuter train from the central station. It is the most used connection and operates all year round.
As a year-round route, Nynäshamn offers the highest departure frequency and is therefore the first choice for Stockholm residents, short-break travelers and business travelers. Vehicles can also be transported comfortably.

Stockholm → Visby
Viking Line's mini cruise is the most atmospheric offering among the three connections: Ships departing in the evening from Stockholm's city harbor traverse the nocturnal archipelago and reach Visby in the early morning.
Onboard, guests can expect restaurants, a sauna, entertainment program and comfortable cabins. The return journey on the same or next evening makes the offering ideal for an extended weekend on Gotland.

How far in advance should I book?+
