About us
faehren-helgoland.de brings together the ferry connections to Heligoland, Germany's only offshore island, in one place. It covers the routes to the island: departures from Cuxhaven, Hamburg, Büsum, Bremerhaven and other North Sea ports. Several shipping lines operate the crossing, including FRS Helgoline, Cassen-Eils and Adler-Schiffe, running seabird ships and catamarans on a seasonal schedule from April to October.
This site answers one question: which ferry connection suits your trip to Heligoland? We compare ports, shipping lines and timetables so you can find the crossing that fits your journey, wherever in the world you're travelling from.

What this site is not
faehren-helgoland.de is an independent guide. We are not the official website of FRS Helgoline, Cassen-Eils or Adler-Schiffe. We are not a Heligoland travel guide either: we deliberately leave out sights, hotel bookings and flights. We don't offer vehicle transport, as Heligoland is car-free. Booking itself takes place directly with the shipping lines or through our partner GetYourGuide.
