Ferry Companies Traveling From and to Denmark

Competition is high for Danish ferry routes, as there are several major companies operating here.

DFDS is one of the biggest. This Danish ferry company operates across Northern Europe, with connections in the UK, Netherlands, Norway, and Denmark, among others. One of the company’s biggest routes connects the cities of Copenhagen and Oslo, but they also run routes out of Calais in France, Dover in the United Kingdom, and Kiel in Germany, albeit not currently to any ports in Denmark.

Stena Line is another big operator with a presence in Danish ferry ports. The Swedish ferry company is one of the biggest in the world. It serves routes in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom and operates a large fleet of modern ships.

Fjord Line, a Norwegian operator, also runs routes in and out of Denmark, many of which connect to Norwegian ports. It used to be much bigger and connect many more ports, but it scaled back operations in 2020 and focuses on just a handful of ferry routes from Norway.

Ferry Ports in Denmark

The Port of Aarhus is the biggest in Denmark, but it primarily deals with trade and is the only port in Denmark capable of handling the world’s largest container ships.

Copenhagen Port deals with more passenger ships. It spans over 200 hectares of land and handles thousands of ships every single year. Passengers connecting to Denmark from other countries will likely pass through this capital port.

There are also major Danish ports in Esbjerg, Grenaa, Fredericia, and Odense.

Ferry to Denmark From Other Countries

Sitting on the southern tip of Scandinavia, with the United Kingdom across the North Sea and both land and sea connections to mainland Europe, Denmark is easily accessible wherever you are in Europe. Danish ferries are a cheap and relaxing way to explore this country. It may be longer than some alternative transport methods, but you’ll be spending most of that travel time relaxing on a ship complete with a range of amenities while enjoying the views out of your cabin window.

Many routes into the country connect through the capital, including Copenhagen ferry options from across Scandinavia. But there are also routes into other major Danish ferry ports, including Aalborg.

Ferry to Denmark from the UK

Unfortunately, there are currently no direct ferries from the UK to Denmark. There are still ways to take a ferry into Denmark if you’re starting in the UK, but you will need to stop off at a country like Norway.

Ferry to Denmark from France

As with the UK, there are no regular routes connecting France to Denmark by ferry. Popular routes that connect these two countries involve trains or night buses through Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany, after which the traveler can either take a ferry to Copenhagen or continue by road and rail.

Ferry to Denmark from Norway

Companies like DFDS run various Copenhagen ferry connections from Norway, including the Gardermoen to Copenhagen ferry, which takes just under 20 hours. It’s a long journey, but this is a big region, and there is a lot of water to cover. DFDS also uses large luxury ships, and you’ll be kept in complete comfort throughout your journey.

Norway to Copenhagen ferry options include:

• Holmenkollen to Copenhagen ferry
• Fredrikstad to Copenhagen ferry
• Ski to Copenhagen ferry
• Moss to Copenhagen ferry
• Drammen to Copenhagen ferry
• Asker to Copenhagen ferry
• Lørenskog to Copenhagen ferry

As discussed already, there are also various Denmark to Norway ferries, such as Copenhagen to Oslo.

Ferry to Denmark from Sweden

The Strömstad to Copenhagen ferry takes about 19 hours, transporting you from the tiny city of Strömstad in Götland County to the Danish capital. There are also ferry routes from Sweden into the port of Aalborg, including the Aalborg to Malmö ferry.

Ferry to Denmark from Germany

Germany shares a border with Denmark, but the unique location of cities like Copenhagen and the sheer size of Germany means that car and train journeys aren’t always practical. Ferries are a great option in this case, with routes like the Warnemünde to Copenhagen ferry getting you from a Mecklenburg port town to the Danish capital in around 6 hours, with cheap ferry tickets available through Omio.
