Poland Ferries: Routes, Ports & Operators

Stena Line’s Gdynia–Karlskrona line joins the Tricity area of Gdańsk, Gdynia and Sopot with the naval city of Karlskrona in Blekinge. With up to three sailings a day on large ships such as Stena Estelle and Stena Ebba, it is the busiest Poland–Sweden ferry route.

The Gdańsk–Nynäshamn ferry is the only direct ship between northern Poland and the Stockholm region, arriving in Nynäshamn about 60 km south of the Swedish capital. It leaves Gdańsk’s historic Westerplatte peninsula in the evening and docks around midday.

POLSCA opened Gdańsk–Karlshamn in July 2026, giving Gdańsk a second Swedish link alongside Nynäshamn and landing in Blekinge close to the E22. Skania carries most passengers, with the freight-focused Copernicus also on the line.

Świnoujście–Ystad is the main ferry corridor between western Poland (and Berlin) and southern Sweden, now sold jointly by Polferries and Unity Line under the POLSCA brand. POLSCA also sells through-tickets to Copenhagen via Ystad that include the Øresund Bridge for car passengers.

Świnoujście–Trelleborg is a heavily freighted Poland–Sweden route served by both TT-Line and POLSCA, with sailings timed so drivers can cross overnight and arrive in Skåne early in the morning. Świnoujście sits right on the German border, on the island of Usedom’s eastern end.

Finnlines’ Świnoujście–Malmö ferry lands directly in Malmö rather than Ystad or Trelleborg, handy for drivers heading to Copenhagen or up the Swedish west coast. It sails overnight from Poland and by day from Sweden.
