The harbour town of Frederikshavn is located at the base of the Jutland peninsula that shapes the northern tip of Denmark. This quiet settlement, built upon the sweeping coast of the Kattegat strait, is surrounded by miles of flat grassland and fields laden with crops. It's an important seaport too. The numerous wharfs and marinas that protrude from the northern shores of town are busy all year with ships travelling along the corridor that connects the North and Baltic Seas. The ferry port of Frederikshavn is found within the sheltered inlet of the coast formed by two, arcing breakwaters. The terminal is a modern building that sits at the end of a wide pier, its length covered by a long undercover footbridge that allows passengers to walk from the main road outside the port to the ferry check-in point without having to step foot on the busy grounds of the harbour. There are plenty of amenities at the port, including toilets, a café selling hot food and drinks, an indoor waiting room and a tourist information point. The streamlined check-in service, including a departure area arranged into a neat series of lanes to help guide traffic, ensures that boarding the ferries is a smooth and straightforward experience. Those driving to the port can make use of the E45 motorway that leads north from Aalborg, the largest city in the Jutland region, and loops directly into the port. The train station, just a short walk from the harbour, also serves as a gateway to a multitude of destinations across the country, including the sprawling capital city of Copenhagen over 5-hours south. Two routes currently leave from the port at Frederikshavn. Stena Line ferries offer a daily trip to the Swedish capital of Gothenburg a short distance east across the width of the Kattegat strait, while another weekly service makes the longer voyage north to the Norwegian city of Oslo.
Gothenburg, situated on the mild western coast of Sweden, is a major port city built on the banks of the Göta älv river. Founded by King Adolphus in the mid-17th Century, the city has evolved into the second largest settlement in the country with a rich musical culture centred around the neo-classical Gothenburg Concert Hall. It is also home to Scandinavia’s most popular film festival, an event that attracts over a 100,000 cinema fans every year. Gothenburg port is the largest in the region and overseas trading has long been a lynchpin of the city’s economy. Cruise passengers visiting the port are well accommodated too. The terminal on the south side of the river is a modern, open-plan building currently operated by Stena Line. Check-ins are processed through a streamlined electronic system, specifically designed to handle the 1.7 million ferry-goers that pass through every year. Those arriving at the port can catch a shuttle bus into the centre of the city or board a tram at the nearest station of Järntorget just 20 minutes away on foot. Gothenburg is supplied by a vast network of transport links, the busiest of which being the city’s Central train station that whisks passengers across most of Sweden. Two routes currently leave from the port; a daily service to Frederikshavn, Denmark and the half-day sail south across the Kattegat area of the North Sea to the city of Kiel in Germany.
