We are not the ferry company. This page tells you who we are, why the site exists and how we earn money.
Who we are
RostockGedser.com is part of FerryGoGo, a network of ferry guides. FerryGoGo started in 2017 as a hobby project, because ferry routes were hard to compare at the time. Co-founders joined in 2019 and since June 2022 it has been an independent company. We do not write about ferries from a desk: we sail the routes ourselves, most of the crossings around Germany, Denmark and Sweden, and we keep going back.
For Rostock Gedser that means: in February 2025 Bram and Robbert from our team took the car on the ferry Berlin from Gedser to Rostock, the last leg of a test trip through Germany, Denmark and Sweden. The photos on this site come from that trip, and so do the notes on check-in, ticket machines and both ports.
Everyone who makes up FerryGoGo is introduced on the FerryGoGo team page.
Why this site exists
Scandlines sells tickets. We answer the questions that come before that: whether this route makes sense for your trip or Puttgarden Rødby fits better, what a ticket really costs on your date, and how check-in, the ports and the two hours on board work. We stick to three rules.
- Dated prices. Every price carries the date on which we checked it on scandlines.com.
- Our own photos, our own notes. Waiting lanes, ticket machines, waiting room, ramp height: photographed, with the signs copied down.
- Honest about gaps. What we could not check, we say so and point to Scandlines. If you find something out of date, write to us below and we will fix it.
How we earn money
We are an independent partner of ferry companies, including Scandlines, the operator of the Rostock Gedser route. If you book through the links on this site, we may receive a commission. It costs you nothing extra: you pay the same price as on scandlines.com and the booking is made directly with Scandlines. The commission pays for the research trips, the photos and the time it takes to keep timetables and prices current. It does not change what we write: when another route is better for your trip, we say so, for example on our alternatives page.
Booking links on this site are marked as sponsored for search engines and open the Scandlines booking in a new tab.
