Route guide

Which Rønne entrance serves the Ystad sailing?

Foot passengers leave through the terminal at Dampskibskajen 5. Drivers bound for Ystad use Sverigesvej 1. Rønne also handles sailings to Køge and Sassnitz, whose motorists use Tysklandsvej. Check the destination on the ticket before following a line of vehicles into the port. See Bornholmslinjen’s port map and check-in table.

If your onward journey is by train, book the Rønne–Ystad crossing and plan the separate transfer at the Swedish end. The approximately 80-minute sailing in Bornholmslinjen’s sailing timetable excludes leaving the ship, reaching the station and waiting for a suitable train. Give a fixed connection more margin than a flexible one.

For a vehicle booking, use the full measured height and length, particularly with a roof load or cycle carrier. Bornholmslinjen’s Ystad-route check-in table distinguishes an ordinary vehicle from an EV booked for charging or a vehicle carrying a passenger who needs assistance. For the latter categories, plan at least 30 minutes at the port.

A return ticket via Ystad takes you into Sweden. If you are continuing to Denmark, compare the total journey with the direct sea crossing to Køge. A fast arrival at the Swedish coast can still leave a considerable road or rail leg before Copenhagen.

Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Ystad may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.

To compare Lowprice, Standard and Flex, check the quoted total for your party and read the change conditions for that product. If the island stay might move by a day, compare the cost of flexibility with a possible change fee and fare difference. See Bornholmslinjen’s fare guide.

If plans change after booking, use the operator’s reservation service to move the crossing and confirm the new departure. Keep the amended ticket for port check-in. You can change a Bornholmslinjen reservation.
