Gdynia passenger ferry terminal to Gdansk

written by Maciek Bogdanski

Gdynia passenger ferry terminal was rebuilt in 2021, and now it is very modern and large – compared both to the previous one and to Gdansk Ferry Terminal. That’s why the majority of ferries and cruise ships moor in Gdynia instead of Gdansk.

Gdynia is much smaller than Gdansk, but still has something to offer, and one of the best museums, the Museum of emigration, is just next to the terminal. I recommend that you read our article on best things to do in Gdynia to learn about other places.

However, as Gdansk is the main tourist destination, you will probably want to get to Gdansk immediately. Your cruise ship operator will most likely have arranges some trips, but if you want to go to Gdansk on your own, it is straightforward.

By bus and SKM train

The most obvious way is to use public transport – bus and the SKM train. This will require one change at Gdynia Glowna train station.

First, you need to get on a bus at the ferry terminal bus stop (Publiczny Terminal Promowy). There are two bus lines that you may use: 133 and 119, and they run frequently – every 10-15 minutes. They have different route, but both get to Gdynia Glowna train station in less than 15 minutes.

Then, you need to get on SKM train (painted blue and yellow) going to Gdansk. SKM trains have their platforms in the southern part of the train station. They run frequently, too. You may expect a train every 7-15 minutes. You can get on any SKM train that goes to Gdansk Glowny or Gdansk Srodmiescie, and depending on your destination in Gdansk, you may leave on any of them. The train journey should last 30-40 minutes.

Tickets

Although it is cheaper to buy separate tickets for bus and SKM train, I recommend buying Bilet Metropolitarny that is valid for SKM train, buses in Gdynia and buses in Gdansk. It costs 34 PLN for 24h ticket, (17 PLN reduced). Consult our article on public transport in Gdansk for more information. Those tickets may be bought online through any of those apps: GoPay, jakdojade.pl, moBILET, mPay, SkyCash and zbiletem.pl. I recommend Jakdojade as it has detailed schedules as well.
