Hop Aboard: Scandlines Braces for a Boost in Passengers Traveling to Denmark
Anticipating an Increase in Tourist Arrivals in Denmark, Ferry Service Prepares for Boost in Traffic - Anticipate Increase in Ferry Passengers Sailing to Denmark during Holiday Season
Ready for a voyage? The Danish-German ferry company, Scandlines, has its hope set on a bump in travelers this year according to their business report. The company remains tight-lipped about the exact passenger projection.
Originating from the bustling city of Copenhagen, Scandlines sails passengers, vehicles, and cargo between the Schleswig-Holstein town of Puttgarden and the Danish town of Rødby, and also between Rostock and Gedser (Denmark). Back in 2024, the seafaring company transported a staggering 6.4 million passengers—similar numbers as the previous year.
In a move to appease budget-conscious travelers, Scandlines introduced dynamic pricing in 2024. Save money by booking early or traveling during off-peak hours, as those occasions yield lower ferry fares. Prepare to pay more during peak travel times, however.
The company's cash register rang in a revenue of 465 million euros last business year, relatively equivalent to the previous year's haul. Before taxes, the company raked in an impressive 125 million euros, marking a 2.5% increase. After taxes, the profit soared to 117 million euros.
In the recent past, Scandlines has borne witness to robust passenger numbers. In fact, they navigated more than 1.6 million automobiles and 700,000 freight units across the routes leading between Germany and Denmark[2]. And in the spirit of sustainability, the company has been dedicating resources to upgrades and investments[2][3].
