Scandlines’ combi-tickets: combine the crossings from Germany to Denmark and Sweden in one go!

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.
What does it cost?

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.
