Our vessels

Our ambition is to offer the most modern maritime transport systems. We want our fleet to use the latest and most efficient technology to reduce the environmental and climate impact of our operations, while at the same time meeting our commitments and responsibility to society.

The ships that operate Destination Gotland’s services are always traditionally called M/S Gotland and M/S Visby and sail to and from Nynäshamn or Oskarshamn. We are now working to develop the world’s first hydrogen-powered passenger ferry – Gotland Horizon.

Since 2023, the fleet has been expanded with three more vessels; M/S Birka Gotland, which serves Stockholm and Mariehamn. And the two latest additions are the cruise ships M/S Pearl Seaways and M/S Crown Seaways, which operate between Oslo and Copenhagen.

M/S Drotten

M/S Drotten

M/S Drotten has held its prominent place on the Gotland route since 2003. M/S Drotten was the first ship that Gotlandsbolaget ordered from the shipyard in Guangzhou, China. Today, M/S Drotten carries passengers, goods and vehicles between Visby, Nynäshamn and the German port of Rostock.
