"Great journey"
Amazing staff , many activities while on board , free wifi works great , just good vibes all the way 🤗
"A pleasant ferry trip"
2 friends and I decided on an impromptu bike ride from Gothenburg to Denmark. I am a Taiwanese who has just arrived in Europe, and I am not very familiar with the environment here. After getting on the ship, I found that the service is very friendly, and the equipment is novel and clean. Thank you very much for such a good service from your company.
"Vinterferie"
Dejlig tur som rejsende uden bil denne gang
"Smooth trip"
The trip was everything we expected; very comfortable, no issues with checkin, great service on board, and a very comfortable environment to get some work done along the way. Great trip!
"Scandanavian bike trip 2019 "
Smooth sailing, good weather, enjoyable experience
"Great trip :)"
The best thing on the boat is amaizing bar on the top, you can be there forever :)
"Useful efficient ferry service"
The ferry route between Frederikshavn in Denmark to Gothenburg is a very helpful efficient service which allows travel between these two Scandinavian countries. Stena Line operates it seamlessly with prompt departures and arrivals and a good level of communication during the sailing. Ferries are a vital part of modern travel and it’s good to see them so prevalent in the Baltic region. We need more of these between the UK and mainland Europe!
"Not pleasant for bicycles"
It feels like a casino or shopping mall, complete with screaming children and lots of junk for sale. They should prohibit smoking in all areas and have quiet spaces. There should be special queues and parking for bicycles. Traveling with a bicycle, I had to arrive early and stand for a long time in the hot sun, breathing truck fumes and smokers, and could not even board before the cars. Then I had to wait in a long line to get downstairs and eventually off the ferry. The worst was that there was no way to secure my bicycle during the trip. Crew simply directed all of the bicycle travelers to a short wall between the car lanes, so that bikes would lean on each other. There was no way to secure the bike. I had to get very creative and tie it to another object in a different area, that was not the proper place. And it was very expensive: over $50 Euro. Next time I will cross at Helsingør: that is cheap and easy.
"Ran Shilo’s review"
Great service
"Ferry boat from Gothembourg to Frederickshavn"
It was a very pleasant trio to Frederickshavn. 3h30m of a good time. Me and my wife had dinner, many places to sit and relax were available.
"Very nice ship"
A very nice ship with lots to do
"Gothenburg crossing"
Buffet meal was great value for evening meal and we enjoyed venue.
"Virgin User"
First timers on this crossing, great facilities and good food was served on the ship. Loved the start of the journey through the archipelago around Gothenburg. We were a little confused regarding dog facilities, we had originally booked 3 indoor kennels (via Stena Lines) however, they are no longer available and dogs are on leads with owners in a designated area which was fine, we all travelled well and enjoyed the experience.
"Stena Review. "
Smooth crossing, everything quite well organised at the port. As with all ferries everything is over priced. Don’t see why we have to be charged for a comfortable seat?
"Overall good"
Good service

We had a nice trip, the personal was really nice and helpful.

Everything was easy in this trip- boarding, finding my seat, getting something to eat. I'd definitely recommend Stena Line to anyone considering using them
"My experience with Stena"
I had a great experience on my trip. I would recommend the Stena Line to my friends.
" Crowded"
The trip was over-all quite OK, but too crowded o b really pleasant. Hard to find a seat and very noisy all around.

"Smooth crossing"
Stena Danica departed at precisely the advertised time and arrived also on the dot! The ship is spacious with ample public areas and a variety of seating and lounge arrangements to suit everyone. A trouble free and economic entry to Sweden. Recommended!

"Excellent trip"
Really nice and comfortable trip, it was unexpected from this ship
"Danimarca-Svezia Trip"
Good general organization. It was not possible to book a table at the restaurant.
"Fredrikshavn Gothenburg"
A nice ending to 10 days in Denmark that started with Helsinborg/Helsingor. Everything went smoothly, we ordered the return trip via internet from Odense a couple of days earlier. We read and relaxed, ate a nice meal and did some shopping. It was nice and pleasant on the boat, day trip that departed at 12 from Fredriskhavn. The boat departed on time and we could return to Stockholm happy.
"Travel"
Very nice trip. The staff was friendly! I recommend the trip to Norway.
"Content"
Everything went as it should, comfortable trip.
"Swedish adventure "
Our plan was to visit Denmark and Sweden, taking in the famous Oresund Bridge/tunnel, so we drove north first. The crossing from Frederikshavn to Goteborg was easy to book on line, and the port easy to find! Excellent crossing, dead on time, nice ferry and bags of room. Plenty of outside seating protected from the wind was appreciated. A very pleasant experience all round.
"Nice trip"
It was a nice trip and I was well treated :-)! It took some time for me to locate the resting chairs where I could find Internet connection and an AC - plug. The WiFi connection was not so good sadly though. Kindest regards Jan-Erik
"trip with Stena Line"
on time, clean and organized boarding
"my trip on august"
all great, on time
"succesful crossing"
All good except that there were several bars on board but only one was open so long wait to get a coffee.
"Quiet trip"
Despite being windy it was a quiet trip. It was easy to find seats altough we were 4 people who wanted to sit together. The big shrimp sandwich was fantastic.
"GREAT FERRY"
THIS IS A GREAT FERRY AND A GREAT ROUTE IF YOU ARE COMING BACK TO ENGLAND, THE STAFF ARE GREAT AND THE PLAY AREA ON THE FERRY IS VERY GOOD, THE KIDS ENJOYED IT A LOT AND WE DID TOO.
"No dramas"
The ship was clean, crew helpful and the journey uneventful.
"Loved it!"
It was a lovely trip from Denmark to Sweden. The kids were entertained with all the free games to play, and we enjoyed the beautiful summer evening on deck. Coming into Gothenburg was an amazing experience for the whole family as we enjoyed the views from the top deck - kids were fascinated about going under the bridge - the ship could just fit!
"Good way to get from Sweden to Denmark"
We were in Stockholm and found it easy to go by train to Gothdenborg for several days then take the ferry to Fredrickson. Construction around the ferry terminal and our hotel which was nearby was a mess. It will be nice when it is all done. We were fascinated by the passengers who seemed to go to Denmark to buy their beer. Understand why as it was almost impossible to find a place to buy liquor in Sweden.
"Nice ferry ride..."
We recently took the ferry from Frederikshaven to Gothenburg on the Stena Line - it was a very relaxing trip and saved us a lot of driving time. The whole process was run very efficiently. There are multiple places to eat (although more vegetarian options might have been nice). There were many different places to hang out and lots to do (shop, gamble, play, eat, drink, hang out on outside deck with music). The time went by quickly. There were also lots of activities to keep the young ones happy. All in all, an easy and comfortable way to travel!
"My review"
Very pleasant trip on a short trip between Gothenburg and Frederickshaven. Very comfortable and all necessary conveniences were available. Look forward to travelling with Stena again.
"A crossing of the Kategat with STENA LIMR"
The ship is well equiped. The boarding is quick and easy (remember to note where your car is if you don't want to loose time looking for it at arrival). During the 40 minutes before arriving in Gotenborg, you see a beautiful archipelago and the passage under the big bridge is impressive. There is probably less than one meter between the deck and the highest part of the ferry. In a nutshell, I was very satisfied.
"Homeward bound"
Ship was very busy, the Swedes use it as a booze cruise. Duty free very busy selling drink.Slot machines extremely popular. Overall a very good ship with good staff and a very enjoyable cruise to Denmark. Loading and unloading very slick
"Very pleasant trip"
Very comfortable crossing, bit slow loading but we made up the time so no problem.
"My travel with Stena Danica"
I enjoy the trip and it saved me from driving back to Sweeden. However i faced difficulty with regards to booking with direct ferries because i booked online the fare was taken from my visa but Stena line was not notified. I needed to call direct ferries uk helpline with my cypriot roamed line and also be charged an extra fee of 23euro!!
"Ferry to Gothenberg"
Excellent Ferry. Very Happy.
"Frederikshavn - Gothenburg - Frederikshavn "
Pleasant and relatively short crossing by 3 1/2 hours to Gothenburg ... ship was on time and everything was very well organized ... can be recommended!
"Stena Line excellent ship"
the journey with Stena Line was punctual and welcoming and the bar man gave us a free drink too.
"Buffet "
Lack of hot food at the buffet (meat quality is not the usual standard. greetz Fam Kircher
"good organization "
The trip went well. Departure and arrival were on time. Also stay on the ship has not become boring to us, thanks to a wide variety of ways to pass the time itself.
"A pleasant crossing"
The 3 hours of crossing between Gothenburg in Sweden to Fredrikshavn in Denmark were very pleasant. I was able to work, as there was an internet connection in both port (not in the middle of the sea though). The food was good. The staff spoke perfect English. I am very satisfied.
"Satisfaction"
My booking via the Stena Line website went well. The timetable was respected. No difficulties at boarding or disembarkment. However, this kind of transport should have more practical information about safety procedures.
"Short and ok "
Overall, everything o.k. The service in the restaurant could however, be friendly and a little more movement behind the counter. Otherwise, to recommend it.
"General"
Everything was just in good order, just fine.
"My Voyage"
Everything was good, travelled Gothenburg to Frederikshavn, the one thing we did not like was the lack of selection of food on board and the very high price of food on board, we understand that the Scandinavian prices are sky high but still.
"really great "
Super Ferry, including a large games area for children and adults (table tennis and table football incl).
"A trip with Directferries"
I've appreciated been notified of a timetable change on my mobile. Departure and arrival on time. I did that crossing 2 years ago and I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Moreover, the internet booking is very interesting.
"Great journey"
We've travelled on this route many times and it is good.
"Trip to Gothenburg"
The facilities and boat staff were exceptional, treated us great. Cleanliness could beimproved (the floor was stick), but with so little time between loading and unloading of passengers must be quite difficult. Otherwise phenomenal.
"Nostalgic and classic"
I want to recommend a trip on Stena Danica to Denmark for a day. The ship is beautiful and well kept and during our trip last summer we spent some hours sleeping on the upper deck in the sun, it was so clean! Lovely view over the sea. The shop for perfume and cosmetics is big and has a big range of brands for prices well under( up to 40% off) what you pay on land. We were happy all the time for this cheap and relaxing trip. Lovely friendly staff, recommended!
"Great ferry with a large selection of everything"
We had a great experience on a day cruise on the Stena Danica ferry. The price was low, it was a bit nostalgic to look out over the sea from this classic ferry. It was a quiet day on board and we had the time to taste the brunch buffet which was nothing extravagant, but very satisfying, fresh and delicious.
