Free Ferry Tickets for Ukrainian Refugees

Last Updated June 01, 2023

Due to the war in Ukraine, many ferry companies in the Baltic Sea are offering free transport to Ukrainians who are fleeing Ukraine. Here is a list with all the details of ferry transport for Ukrainian refugees.

Note! This program has largely ended for the time being. We will update this page if we hear of any new offers.

Note! In all cases, you will need a Ukrainian passport to get tickets.

Note! Offers for free tickets have to be claimed with the ferry operator directly. FerryScan cannot make these bookings, we have just compiled a list of the ferry options for Ukrainian refugees. We do have all of the ferry routes listed on FerryScan, so you can always check the timetables on FerryScan before contacting the operator for help with booking the free ticket.
