From Kiel to Gothenburg - best ferry between Sweden and Germany

Then it was time to take the ferry from Kiel to Gothenburg, after two months of motorhome travel in Europe. It was the first time we took this particular ferry, and we have to say that in our opinion this is the best ferry between Sweden and Germany. Which ferry suits you depends of course on where you live in Sweden, but of all the ones we have travelled on, we have to say that this is the nicest!

Two-month campervan trip is over

After the last visit to the North Sea coast in Germany, two months of motorhome travelling in Europe was over. We have travelled in seven countries and visited around 50 different destinations. What an amazing journey this has been! We will summarise a bit more in the future and we will soon update our pages with travel tips, which you can find in the menu. In the meantime, you can find all our posts from the trip at Motorhome trip2018.

From Kiel to Gothenburg - in a panorama cabin

This time we took the ferry from Gothenburg to Kiel with StenaLine. We tried a Panorama Class Cabin, with panoramic views from the 11th floor, and must say it was great travelling this way! After two months on the road in the motorhome, it felt really luxurious to enjoy a night in a hotel, because yes, it felt like that! In the room we had plenty of space, comfortable beds, a nice shower room and both water and wine.

Just outside the room we also had access to bubbly (at the beginning of the trip) as well as coffee, cakes and fruit. How luxurious!

Dinner with friends

The most fun was when we met Linda, with her blog, on the boat. Reiselindaand her husband Pär. They have been travelling around Germany with their motorhome for four months and we have been following each other's blogs, but never really met before. A few days before departure we realised that we would probably end up on the same boat, and after just a few minutes on board we bumped into each other at the bubbly. Soon after, we had dinner together in the a la carte restaurant.

We chose the restaurant's ready-made three-course menu, with Skagenröra on caviar, beef fillet or cod, and pannacotta. The dinner was very good, but above all we had a lot to talk about! Motorhome life, travel destinations, languages, blogging ...

Both Peter and I ate the good beef fillet, but Pär's cod came out best in the photo!

After dinner, we lingered in the bar for a while over an Irish Whiskey, before it was time for some sleep. The last thing we saw before going to bed was the Great Belt Bridge, which we passed under. Mighty!

Breakfast on board

When booking a panorama cabin or suite, breakfast is included in the price. The large breakfast buffet was like a good hotel, with hot dishes, lots of different toppings and cheeses, fruit, pastries, yoghurt and so on. If you judge a hotel breakfast by how good the eggs are, we can say that the runny eggs were perfect!

Best ferry between Sweden and Germany

So why did we like this ferry more than others? We have travelled many different ferries between Skåne and Germany, and also ferries from Sweden to Poland. Most of these ferries are very boring and feel more like "transport".

On board the ferry between Kiel and Gothenburg there was both a good restaurant with good food and bars with entertainment in the evening. If you also add the luxury of an extra nice cabin, then travelling by ferry becomes a really pleasant experience!
