Which ports does the Gotland ferry leave from?
The two mainland ports, the crossing time and where the terminals are.
Short answer
The Gotland ferries sail to Visby from two mainland ports, Nynäshamn south of Stockholm and Oskarshamn in Småland, according to Destination Gotland and the island's tourist site. Both crossings take about three hours. In Visby the ferry arrives close to the town centre, and the timetable is on destinationgotland.se.
Why
- Destination Gotland says its sailings run from Nynäshamn or Oskarshamn to Visby.
- The Gotland tourist site gotland.com names Nynäshamn south of Stockholm and Oskarshamn in Småland as the two mainland ports and says the ferry lands close to central Visby.
- Ports of Stockholm says Destination Gotland's ferries to Visby depart from the Port of Nynäshamn.
Details
Destination Gotland's Nynäshamn terminal is at Nynäsvägen 2B, with vehicle check-in at Fiskargränd 1 and a fenced long-term car park about 500 metres from the terminal. For the ferry guide, see ferry to Gotland, and for places to stay in Visby and on the island, see where to stay on Gotland and when to book.
Tip
Choose the port by where you start, since both crossings take about the same time, and check the departures for your date in the timetable on destinationgotland.se.
What may differ
Birka Gotland cruises are a different product: Ports of Stockholm lists them as scheduled cruises from Stadsgården in Stockholm, separate from the Nynäshamn and Oskarshamn ferries.
Common misconception
Nynäshamn is the only port you can take the Gotland ferry from.
What actually happens
Destination Gotland sails to Visby from both Nynäshamn and Oskarshamn, and gotland.com says the crossing takes about three hours from either port.
