Ferries and Cruises Between Latvia and Sweden
Despite having a rich maritime history, there is currently only one ferry connecting Latvia and Sweden. From Ventspils in Latvia, there is a 2-3x daily ferry to Nynäshamn in Sweden. Ventspils is around 170km (100 miles) to the west of the capital of Latvia, Riga. In Sweden, Nynäshamn is directly south of Stockholm, around 50km. The ferry operates 2-3 times daily with an overnight departure always available. If traveling between Latvia and Sweden by car or foot, this ferry is likely the only possibility.
Alternative Ferry Routes
As of 2024, the only other options to get from Latvia to Sweden by car would be to travel via Klaipedia, Lithuania to Karlshamn, Sweden, or to drive to Tallinn or Paldiski (Estonia) and travel to Stockholm from there. Ferries between the Latvian capital of Riga and Stockholm have happened in the past, but currently there are none.
