Yes. You'll be able to sail on the next available ferry if you arrive before or after your booked departure on the same calendar day.

With a Flex ticket, you're guaranteed a place on all departures from the date of purchase to three months after the departure you've booked. Simply check in at the harbour 15 minutes before the departure you want to get on.

You don't have to use your ticket on Helsingør-Helsingborg at the same calendar day like the crossing Germany-Denmark.

A possible difference in the ticket price has to be paid at the Check-In in Helsingør or Helsingborg respectively.

You can book Early Booker tickets when there are at least 30 days until your departure.

If you can’t see Early Booker tickets in the online booking, you have either chosen a departure date less than 30 days from today's date, or the ticket is sold out. In this case, you need to search for another departure or ticket.

Most tickets have an online price and a harbour price.

The online price applies to purchases via scandlines.com, the Scandlines' app or via customer services. The harbour price applies to purchases in the harbour.

You always get the cheapest price when you book your ticket via the website or the app.

Please note that tickets purchased in the Yellow lane in the harbour or via customer services incur a handling fee.

For vehicles exceeding 6 metres in length, there is a surcharge of 30 € for every additional 2 metres. Read more about vehicle lengths and definitions.

You'll receive a printed voucher when you check in at Puttgarden or Rostock. You must redeem the voucher on board on your return journey. The voucher can be paid out in cash or used to pay for onboard purchases.

If you purchase a ticket in the harbour in the Yellow lane, which is the manned service lane, or via customer services by phone/e-mail, we will charge a handling fee. Read more about the handling fee.

Buy online and avoid the handling fee
You can avoid paying handling fees by buying tickets online via our website or our app. You can buy tickets online up to two hours before departure.

To partially cover increased fuel costs, we have had to introduce a fuel surcharge on tickets for cars and camping vehicles.

As the fuel surcharge is added per crossing, return tickets will be charged twice - once for the outward journey and once for the return journey.

The fuel surcharge will be added to tickets departing from 2 January 2023.

Scandlines is an EasyGo member which means that you do not need a special agreement with Scandlines to use your bizz for your crossings.

Under My Account on brobizz.com you can get an overview of the ferry crossings. Under the menu item "Consumption/Tours", you can get an overview of your consumption.

With a Bizz Flex ticket you will have priority, but since we have limited space on the ferry, we must take sold out departures into consideration.

You can use any bizz connected to EasyGo on our Puttgarden-Rødby and Rostock-Gedser crossings. Read more about EasyGo.

The Rødby-Puttgarden crossing takes 45 minutes.

The Gedser-Rostock crossing takes 2 hours.

Please remember that passengers must check in at least 15 minutes before the scheduled time of departure.

Unfortunately, you can’t exchange currency on board the ferry.

Please make sure you arrive in good time (preferably 30 minutes prior to scheduled departure) and choose the yellow lane. This will make it easier for us to find the best parking space for your car on the car deck.

We always do our best to make sure you have a good trip, but if you're unhappy with a product or service provided by Scandlines, we want to hear from you.

Send an email to scandlines@scandlines.com and tell us about your experience. We'll be in touch as soon as possible to try to find a solution.

If you are injured or your vehicle or luggage suffer any damage while on board the ferry, make sure you notify our staff before leaving the ferry.

Our staff will fill out a form covering your name, address, time of injury/damage, location, a description of the incident and other relevant information.

If the incident concerns damage to a vehicle etc. that is fully insured, you should contact your insurance company, who will sort out the assessment, repairs and liability issues.
