Table of Contents
Two ports on the Swedish mainland have ferries to Visby all year, and in summer a third route runs from Stockholm. Which one suits you depends mostly on how you reach the coast, not on the crossing itself.
Nynäshamn: for Stockholm and Arlanda
Nynäshamn lies on the coast south of Stockholm. Commuter train line 43 runs there from Stockholm City in a little over an hour, and the station is a few hundred metres from the terminal. The connecting bus comes from Uppsala, Arlanda and Stockholm Central and reaches the terminal about an hour before departure.
With usually two sailings a day in winter and usually five in high summer, Nynäshamn has the most departures. The crossing takes about 3 hours 15 minutes. More on the Nynäshamn - Visby page.
Oskarshamn: for drivers from the south
Oskarshamn on the Småland coast is the nearer port if you drive from southern Sweden, from Denmark across the Øresund Bridge or from Germany on one of the ferries to Trelleborg or Gothenburg. Connecting buses also run to the terminal from towns in Småland and Östergötland, some of them in summer only.
The crossing takes about 3 hours 10 minutes. In winter there is usually one sailing a day, and many of them mainly carry freight; in high summer there are two or three. More on the Oskarshamn - Visby page.
From Stockholm in summer
In summer a cruise ferry sails from Stockholm to Visby on selected dates between early June and early September. It leaves Stockholm in the late afternoon, calls at Mariehamn on Åland during the night and reaches Visby the next morning. The fare includes a berth in an inside cabin for two.
This trip takes no vehicles and no pets apart from assistance dogs, and everyone travelling needs ID. If you simply want to reach Gotland, the ferries from Nynäshamn and Oskarshamn are faster and run all year. More on the Stockholm - Visby page.
Booking and check-in
Nynäshamn and Oskarshamn share one fare list. With a vehicle you book a package for the vehicle and up to five people, and three fare types decide whether you can change or cancel. What it all costs is on the prices page.
Check-in opens 1 hour 30 minutes before departure and closes 20 minutes before, for foot passengers and vehicles alike. Your boarding pass arrives by text message and email three hours before departure. Every sailing is in the timetable.
