Destination Gotland

Destination Gotland is a Swedish ferry line that has operated state-subsidised domestic ferries from Nynäshamn and Oskarshamn to Visby on the island of Gotland since 1998. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Rederi AB Gotland, also known as Gotlandsbolaget, headquartered in Visby.

With four high-speed ferries, Destination Gotland provides efficient transport of passengers and freight between Gotland and the mainland on the Visby-Nynäshamn and Visby-Oskarshamn routes. The crossing takes about three hours regardless of the departure port. The ferry from Oskarshamn to Visby runs around 9 times a week with a crossing time of 3 hours 5 minutes. With its fleet, the company can operate up to 18 sailings a day.

The current fleet includes the conventional ferries MS Drotten, MS Visby, MS Visborg and MS Gotland, the high-speed ferries HSC Gotlandia and HSC Gotlandia II, and the 2004-built cruise ship Birka Gotland. Around 1.6 million passengers, 480,000 cars and 730,000 lane metres of freight are carried on the Gotland ferry services each year.

From Stockholm to Nynäshamn, the bus company Merresor offers a shuttle service between the central bus station and Nynäshamn harbour, timed to match the ferry schedules. By car, the drive from Stockholm to Nynäshamn on motorway 73 takes about 45-60 minutes. It is recommended to buy tickets in advance and to arrive at the harbour by car at least an hour before departure.
