The Helsinki to Travemünde crossing links Helsinki in Finland with Travemünde in Germany.
For a departure from Helsinki, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Finnlines’ Germany services use Helsinki’s Vuosaari harbour area rather than the central passenger terminals used by many Tallinn or Stockholm ferries.
On the other side of the crossing, Travemünde is your arrival port. Travemünde’s resort centre is compact, but Skandinavienkai requires a separate bus, taxi or vehicle transfer and Lübeck lies further inland.
Compare the Helsinki departure and Travemünde arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Helsinki to Travemünde result when planning your trip rather than assuming the outward timetable applies in reverse.
Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Travemünde may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.

Travemünde is Lübeck’s Baltic ferry gateway. The ferry port is separated from the old seaside centre, so follow Finnlines directions rather than navigating only to central Travemünde.
After the ferry reaches Travemünde, allow time for disembarkation before a collection or onward connection. Check where passengers leave the terminal and whether your next stop is within walking distance or requires a transfer.

Check names and travel details before you arrive. If taking a vehicle, enter its full dimensions and include trailers, roof loads or rear-mounted equipment where required.
Use current official guidance for documents, entry permissions and any vehicle or pet requirements that apply to your journey. Requirements depend on your circumstances and can change.
Travemünde’s resort centre is compact, but Skandinavienkai requires a separate bus, taxi or vehicle transfer and Lübeck lies further inland.

Use the signed road approach or local bus connections to the terminal; do not assume the beachfront rail station is beside ferry check-in.
For an onward connection from Travemünde, include time to leave the ship and terminal. Check local transport for the actual arrival day, especially if the ferry arrives early in the morning or late at night. A nearby hotel or a later connection may give more flexibility if the crossing is delayed.
