The 30-second answer

Book if you can. Walk-up depends on remaining space.

Walk-up travel is possible only when space remains. Complete counter check-in 30 minutes before departure and distinguish a free bagged bicycle from an intact paid bicycle.

What can travel

Passenger, vehicle and baggage rules

“Yes” means the operator publishes a carriage category. Space and vessel restrictions still apply.

Foot passenger Yes

Advance booking is recommended. Walk-up boarding is possible when space remains, but may be refused when full.

Car Yes

Cars can be reserved by web or phone; walk-up carriage depends on remaining vehicle-deck space.

Motorcycle Yes

Motorcycles can be reserved by web or phone and use the vehicle deck.

Bicycle Yes

A bagged bicycle is free carry-on when declared in the web booking. An intact bicycle is a paid vehicle-deck item and should be reserved.

Pet Conditional

With-pet rooms and pet-room cages must be reserved by phone together with the ferry booking.

Large baggage Check the rule

Ask the operator about items above the 2 m or 30 kg baggage limit before travel.

Use the right terminal

Both ends of the route

Before boarding

Four checks at the port

  1. Confirm today’s operating route and vessel on the operator site.
  2. Bring any booking or ticket reference; drivers should also bring the vehicle registration document when required.
  3. Finish check-in at least 30 minutes before departure.
  4. Complete the terminal procedure no later than 30 minutes before departure. Passengers with a reservation exchange the reservation number for a ticket; walk-up passengers buy at the counter if space remains.
