About the Malmö – Świnoujście crossing
This one is a daytime crossing, which is unusual on the Baltic. Finnlines leaves Malmö at 10:15 on Mondays and Sundays and at 11:00 from Tuesday to Saturday, reaching Świnoujście at 19:15 either way — so the Monday and Sunday boats run a full nine hours and the rest a little over eight.
Sweden and Poland keep the same time, so the arrival is exactly what it says. Finnfellow, Finnpartner and Finntrader work the line, the same three ships as the German route, with a buffet, sauna and Sailor's Shop aboard; Wi-Fi reaches the cabins and public areas on Finnfellow and Finntrader.
Check-in is in the blue booths at Norra Hamnen, opening about two hours before departure and closing an hour before. Świnoujście sits at the mouth of the Świna, right on the German border — the town's western suburbs run into Germany — and the same port handles Unity Line and Polferries crossings to Ystad.
