Thank you

Hi Silvia,
Thanks for your question. We're sorry to inform you that there are no direct ferries from Stockholm to the UK. On this page you can find the information needed, vice versa though: https://ferrygogo.co.uk/sweden/ferry-to-sweden-from-the-uk/. The ferry from Nynashamn to Gdansk might be a good fit. Or drive back to Trelleborg in Southern Sweden and take the ferry to Rostock with Stena Line: https://ferrygogo.co.uk/sweden/ferry-to-sweden-from-germany/
Hope this helps.
