Scandlines’ combi-tickets: combine the crossings from Germany to Denmark and Sweden in one go!
JW van Tilburg What’s the combo ticket? With a Scandlines combi-ticket, you book two crossings in one go. For most travellers from the UK and Ireland this means starting with Puttgarden–Rødby, (after the ferry to the continent of course) then adding the next leg straight away: either (A) Helsingør–Helsingborg with the Øresund ferry, or (B) the toll bridge between Copenhagen and Malmö. One ticket, two stages – all sorted in advance.
And especially with the combi route via the Øresund Bridge you’ll enjoy an extra discount. Booking online already saves you €15 compared to buying your ticket on the spot.
The combi-ticket for Puttgarden–Rødby + Øresund Bridge starts at €98.75. Booked separately, those tickets would cost you €51.20 (Puttgarden–Rødby) + €62 (Øresund Bridge = DKK 460) = €113.20. With the combi you’re already €15 better off, and when you add the €15 online discount, you save over €30 on your trip. Travelling back the same way? Your savings double to almost €60.
It’s worth it for motorbikes too – a combi ticket is only €47.
Planning to go via the Puttgarden–Rødby (1) and then (2) Helsingør–Helsingborg route? In that case it’s cheaper to book (1) and (2) separately – you’ll save about €20 compared to a combi-ticket. Just make sure you still book online, or you’ll end up paying more.

Why Scandlines combi-tickets are a smart choice
With a Scandlines combi-ticket, you cover the whole trip from Germany to Sweden in one booking. Combine Puttgarden–Rødby or Rostock–Gedser with the Øresund Bridge or the short Helsingør–Helsingborg ferry. No need for multiple bookings – everything is streamlined into one hassle-free ticket.
The main benefits:
- One ticket, one smooth journey: both ferry and bridge or a second ferry included.
- Guaranteed space for your car or camper: advance booking means you’re secure.
- Cheaper than booking separately: combo deals usually work out as a better value.
- Flexible travel: many tickets are valid all day (check the conditions).
- Greener travel: Scandlines is investing heavily in hybrid ferries and fuel-saving tech.
- Choice of routes: go fast via Puttgarden + Øresund Bridge, or enjoy an extra ferry via Helsingør. Travelling from further east? Rostock + your choice of second leg could be the smarter option.

Ferrygogo Tip
If you’re driving to Sweden, book a combi ticket; it will simplify your trip and save you a few euros.
If you’re not in a rush, the Helsingør-Helsingborg ferry adds a short extra sail with sea views, while the Øresund Bridge is quickest if you want to get moving.
