RostockDetails
The former Rostock–Stockholm service
Hansa Destinations sailed to Nynäshamn rather than Stockholm’s city harbour. After starting in 2021, it suspended the route for 2023; its final rotation ended at Nynäshamn on 4 January 2023. An old timetable for this service should not be used to plan a current journey.
Rostock–Trelleborg is a different crossing to southern Sweden. A journey onwards to Stockholm requires a separate overland leg; Trelleborg is not a replacement arrival port in the Stockholm area.

Cuxhaven - NeuwerkDetails
The MS Flipper of Cassen Eils connects Cuxhaven with Neuwerk. The 2026 sailing season runs from April to October.
SassnitzDetails
The former Sassnitz–Ystad service
FRS Baltic initially sailed from Sassnitz to Ystad with Skane Jet, switching the Swedish port to Trelleborg for 2023. That successor service also ended, on 30 September 2024. Old offers for either route do not describe a current FRS crossing.
Rostock–Trelleborg is another route to southern Sweden. It changes both the German departure port and the Swedish arrival port compared with the old Ystad route. Allow for the journey to Rostock and your onward travel from Trelleborg.
