Can you take a dog on the Stena Line ferry from Frederikshavn to Gothenburg?

Book the pet space when you book the trip.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Yes, but the number of pet spaces is limited, so you must book one in advance and tell the crew at check-in. On Stena Jutlandica pets can stay in the car on the open car deck or in the dog-friendly lounge. On Stena Danica pets can stay in the car except in May, June, July and August, or in the dog-friendly lounge. The car deck is closed during the crossing, so you cannot visit the car. Cats must travel in a cage or carrier.

Check which ship sails your departure, because the rules for pets in the car differ between the two ships.

The pet rules differ between Stena Line routes, so read the part for Frederikshavn–Gothenburg.
