Ferries to RødbyPort connections and services
Planning a holiday in northern Europe and beautiful Denmark? Take a ferry to Rødby!
Rødby is a port town located on the island of Lolland, Denmark, in the Fehmarn belt.
The construction of the harbour began in the early 1900s, mainly for fishing and trade; it was later expanded in the 1940s to support ferry connections with Germany and in 1963 the 'Vogelfluglinie', a transport corridor between Denmark and Germany, was opened.
Today, Rødby Puttgarden is one of Europe's busiest ferry routes, and is served by the ferry company Scandlines.
Running approximately every 30 minutes throughout the 24 hours of the day, the modern and safe Rødby Puttgarden ferries also make night-time connections possible and relaxing. The crossing lasts only 45 minutes.
Passengers in transit to and from Germany pass through the ferry terminal, about 5 km from the town centre of Rødby, which has essential facilities such as a waiting room, car parks and toilets. Hotels, petrol stations, restaurants, pharmacies and shops are available on the main street that connects the centre to the port.
