FAQs from Stena Line
How do I apply a Stena Line discount code to my booking?
Applying a Stena Line discount code online is simple. Just follow these steps:
- Visit the Stena Line website and enter your route, travel dates, and passenger details.
- Select your preferred fare type and add any extras such as cabins or meals.
- Proceed to the booking summary or payment page.
- Find the promotional or offer code field and enter the valid code exactly as shown.
- Confirm the discount has been applied to your total before completing payment.
Some offers, like the Kids Go Free promotion, require you to enter the code at a specific point during booking, so keep an eye out for the prompt. Booking online also avoids the telephone service fee that applies to non-web bookings.
Which routes are included in the Kids Go Free offer?
Children aged 0–15 travel free on motorist Economy or Flexi fares on four Irish Sea routes:
- Cairnryan – Belfast
- Liverpool – Belfast
- Holyhead – Dublin
- Fishguard – Rosslare
You'll need to use the offer code at checkout, book by 31 August 2026, and travel between 1 May 2026 and 5 January 2027. The offer applies to new bookings only and can't be combined with other promotions, including Tesco Clubcard reward partner codes.
What is Stena MORE and is it free to join?
Stena MORE is Stena Line's free loyalty programme. Once you sign up, you start earning points on almost every purchase: 5 points per £1/€1 at Blue level. Points can be redeemed against future travel, pre-booked cabins, meals, and onboard extras. As you travel more, you can reach Gold or Platinum status, where you'll earn 10 points per £1/€1 and unlock perks like Stena Plus Lounge access, premium Wi-Fi, and no service fees.
Can I use Tesco Clubcard points to pay for Stena Line ferries?
Yes. Tesco Clubcard points can be exchanged for Stena Line reward partner codes, which can then be used towards your booking. However, these codes can't be used at the same time as other promotional offers, including the Kids Go Free code, so it's worth working out which option gives you the better saving before you book.
What's the difference between Economy, Flexi, and Premium fares?
Stena Line offers three main fare types to suit different needs:
- Economy: The lowest-priced option, but typically non-refundable and changes may incur a fee.
- Flexi: Allows free amendments and a full refund up to 24 hours before departure.
- Premium: Maximum flexibility, with full refunds available up to two hours before sailing (minus a small fee).
If your plans are fixed, Economy is the most cost-effective choice. If there's any chance your dates might change, Flexi or Premium offers useful peace of mind.
Is there a Business Traveller scheme for regular ferry users?
Yes. Stena Line's Business Traveller scheme offers discounted Economy, Flexi, and Premium fares, plus reduced cabin rates on selected routes. It's available in the UK, Ireland, Holland, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Poland, and Latvia. The more frequently you travel, the greater the savings, so it's worth registering if Stena Line crossings are a regular part of your work travel.
How much does a day trip to Sweden cost with Stena Line?
Return day trips from Frederikshavn to Gothenburg start at €17 per adult (16+) and €9 per child (aged 4–15). Infants aged 0–3 always travel free. The trip must be a same-date return, and you must be 18 or over to travel without a guardian. The outward journey must begin from the destination listed on your booking confirmation.
What is the Scandinavia by Car offer and who is it for?
The Scandinavia by Car offer is aimed at travellers organising their own road trip to Scandinavia on the Gdynia–Karlskrona route. If you depart from Gdynia on a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday and return within 16 days, you'll receive savings on car, passenger, and trailer fares on the return journey, plus additional savings on cabin bookings. Port and environmental charges are not discounted. On the outward journey, you can use any available promotion and fare type.
Can I pay with cash at Stena Line ports and on board?
Cash is not accepted at several Stena Line ports or on board certain vessels. At ports in Rostock, Trelleborg, Gothenburg, and Kiel, and on board the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Skåne, Stena Germanica, and Stena Scandinavica, only credit cards (Visa and Mastercard) and debit cards (Maestro) are accepted. It's worth checking the payment options for your specific route before you travel.
What are the benefits of reaching Gold or Platinum status in Stena MORE?
Both Gold and Platinum members earn 10 points per £1/€1 spent, compared to 5 points at Blue level. Additional benefits include:
- Stena Plus Lounge access on selected routes
- Premium Wi-Fi
- No service fee on bookings
- Platinum only: cabin upgrades, late checkout, and dedicated boarding on Baltic Sea routes
Gold and Platinum members also get exclusive and priority access to seasonal offers, meaning you'll often get first pick of the best deals before they're available to everyone else.
Is there a Blue Light Card discount on Stena Line?
Currently, Stena Line does not offer a Blue Light Card or NHS discount. We'll keep you updated if an offer becomes available, but in the meantime, check our Stena Line codes and discounts for extra savings on your journey.

Smart Booking Tips to Lower Your Fare
Beyond promotional offers, a few straightforward habits can help you pay less on every crossing.
- Book early: Economy fares are the most affordable option, and prices typically rise as the departure date approaches. Locking in your crossing well in advance is one of the most reliable ways to save.
- Travel midweek or late at night: Tuesday and Wednesday departures, as well as late-night sailings, often sit in lower fare brackets compared to weekend or daytime crossings.
- Use the low fare calendar: Stena Line's fare calendar lets you compare prices across different dates at a glance, so you can spot the cheapest days to travel without having to search each date individually.
- Use Tesco Clubcard points: Tesco Clubcard points can be exchanged for Stena Line reward partner codes, effectively doubling their value. Bear in mind these cannot be used alongside other promotional offers, including the Kids Go Free code.
- Choose the right fare type: Economy fares are the lowest priced but come with restrictions. Flexi fares allow free amendments and refunds up to 24 hours before departure, while Premium fares offer maximum flexibility with refunds available up to two hours before sailing.
Rail and Sail: Combining Ferry and Train Travel
Stena Line offers Rail and Sail packages that combine ferry crossings with train travel in a single booking on selected routes between Britain, Ireland, and Holland. These packages often work out better value than booking separately and come with generous luggage allowances, worth considering if you're travelling without a car.
