Route guide

The main ferry gateway from the Stockholm region to Gotland

Nynäshamn–Visby is one of Destination Gotland’s two main routes from the Swedish mainland. The operator describes the journey as around three hours, with modern fast ferries carrying passengers, vehicles and bicycles.

Nynäshamn is south of Stockholm and is connected by commuter rail and road, making it the natural Gotland gateway for travellers from the capital region.

Visby’s ferry terminal is close to the UNESCO-listed medieval town, so foot passengers can reach the centre easily while motorists can continue across the island immediately after disembarkation.

Look beyond the headline fare when comparing Nynäshamn to Visby. Departure time, ticket flexibility and the transfer after arrival can make a different sailing more convenient overall.

Timetables can change between seasons and weekdays. Check the live result for the exact sailing date, vessel and check-in requirement before arranging tightly timed onward plans.

Travel information

Plan the correct Nynäshamn terminal and Gotland arrival

This is a domestic Swedish crossing, but the operator still has identification, ticket and check-in requirements. Nynäshamn also has more than one ferry facility, so use Destination Gotland’s directions rather than another operator’s terminal.

Correct terminal

Destination Gotland uses its own Nynäshamn terminal; do not follow signs for the Stena Line Norvik terminal.

Vehicle booking

Book the correct car, motorcycle or bicycle category and arrive by the stated check-in time.

Passenger details

Make sure names and passenger details match the booking and carry any identification requested by the operator.
