Gothenburg to Kiel ferries are the most scenic and relaxing way to travel between the northern German city of Kiel overlooking the Baltic Sea and Sweden’s second largest city, Gothenburg. Kiel is home to one of the Baltic Sea’s busiest ports and the world’s busiest canal, while Gothenburg is considered one of Sweden’s friendliest cities.

Gothenburg is also home to the main office of Stena Line Ferry, whose Kiel to Gothenburg ferry route is just one of 18 the company offers across northern Europe. Two of Stena Line Ferry’s 33 vessels, Stena Germanica and Stena Scandinavica, provide regular crossings between Gothenburg and Kiel. Both ferries are luxury cruise lines offering a wide variety of amenities.

At both crossings, Kiel to Gothenburg ferries depart from one city at 19:00 and arrive at the other city at 09:00 the following morning. Check in times at both ferry crossings are between 17:00 and 18:30, except between the middle of June and the end of August, when check in time begins at 15:00.

The two Gothenburg to Kiel ferries, Stena Germanica and Stena Scandinavica, both include a shop, casino, nightclub, bars, a play area for children, a relaxing lounge, and a tasty Scandinavian buffet. All cabins aboard both vessels, from budget quarters to the indulgent captain’s suite, provide fresh bed linens, comfortable mattresses, and bathrooms with showers, toilets, sinks, shampoo, soap, and towels.

Ferry passengers arriving in Gothenburg will find a lively city of fascinating museums, scenic parks, fun nightlife, and a large variety of American style outdoor coffee shops. Nearby is the Liesberg amusement park, the largest in Scandinavia and most visited attraction in Sweden. Kiel’s main tourist attractions include the annual Kieler Woche, the world’s largest sailing competition, and the Nord-Ostsee Kanal, a popular place to walk or bike.
