Ferry Travel in 2025: Affordable Options and Attractive Deals
In the summer season of 2025, Ferrygogo has analysed the costs and best deals for round trips with a cabin and car. Here are some key findings to help you plan your journey.
For those seeking affordable options, routes like Rostock-Trelleborg (Sweden) stand out, offering competitive prices and making them suitable for short breaks. For trips to Norway, the ferry Kiel-Oslo is recommended.
Travelling outside the main season can result in more relaxed prices and availability. However, it's important to note that timely planning is necessary due to the quick filling up of car decks.
One of the most expensive options is the route Hirtshals-Seyðisfjörður (Denmark-Iceland), costing 2,222 euros. Despite the high price, this route includes two overnight stays per leg and offers a unique Icelandic landscape.
Early booking discounts of up to 20 percent are available from providers like DFDS and Stena Line, until February.
Some routes have become more expensive, such as Liverpool-Belfast with a 51 percent price increase. On the other hand, the connection Barcelona-Civitavecchia (Rome) is particularly affordable at just 0.44 euros per kilometer.
The route Bilbao-Rosslare (Spain-Ireland) impresses with an attractive price-performance ratio at 0.60 euros per kilometer. Long-distance routes such as Travemünde-Helsinki (1,092 kilometers) and Sète-Nador (1,078 kilometers) also offer an excellent price-to-distance ratio.
The IJmuiden-Newcastle connection has become 22.5 percent cheaper. It's worth mentioning that the average ferry price for a round trip is 1,014 euros, which is approximately 1.17 euros per kilometer.
Taking your own vehicle offers flexibility and saves the search for rental cars at the destination. The ferry operator Smyril Line offers the connection from Hirtshals to Seyðisfjörður; however, the search results do not provide specific pricing details to determine which operator offers the cheapest fare for this route.
In conclusion, ferry travel remains an attractive option for combining comfort, flexibility, and a good price-performance ratio. For the latest news and information about life and work abroad, visit our German-language service and news portal.
