The ferry route from Frederikshavn in North Jutland to Gothenburg in Sweden is one the most trafficked ferry routes from Denmark to Sweden. The crossing time is 3 hours and 15 minutes by regular ferry, but the crossing can be done in 2 hours, when taking the catamaran ferry, used on the Frederikshavn-Gothenburg route in the summer time.

The scenic experience from the ship when sailing from Frederikshavn to Gothenburg in Sweden is limited, and there are no tax free sales on board, since both Denmark and Sweden are members of the European Union. However, many Swedish tourists come to Frederikshavn on short weekend trips to relax, shop and have a good time in Frederikshavn. Many Danish tourists also travel to Gothenburg to enjoy shopping and the many attractions in the second largest city in Sweden.
Stena Line also operates the ferry route from Grenaa in East Jutland to Varberg in Sweden, which can be an alternative to the Frederikshavn-Gothenburg route.
