New ferry connection: Discover Stettiner Haff from Neuwarp to Swinünde!

The anticipation for new trips over the Stettiner Haff is growing! As of today, June 28, 2025, an exciting ferry connection will start with the Polish places Szczecin (Szettin), Nowe Warpno (Neuwarp) and Swinoujscie (Swinemünde). The new connection is not only a great option for a weekend trip, but also offers a wonderful view of historical sights and the unique nature in the area. According to NDR will be in operation until the end of August.

The new ferry has space for around 200 passengers and can transport 50 bicycles. When traveling between Neuwarp and Swinemünde, which takes around four hours, travelers can enjoy relaxing hours on board. This connection emphasizes that it leads through scenic and historically attractive areas and thus also offers ideal photo opportunities.

logistics behind the connection

Before the ferry took the first passengers on board, the fairway was dredged on the Polish side of the Szczecin Haffs and the Neuwarper Lake. These measures were fundamental to implement the new ferry connection. The entire project is based on a cooperation between the city of Szczecin and the district of Police, whereby the approval was granted by the city council of Szczecin. This shows that cross-border cooperation bears fruits and can give the region new economic impulses, such as Nordkurier reported.

The trips initially started again on weekends and run until August 24th. By the way, the crossing from Szczecin to Nowe Warpno takes about two hours. Another plus is that the ferry also serves as a means of transport for bicycles, which in particular inspires cyclists and represents a perfect offer for excursions in the area.
