Bursztyn Unity ferry opens for tours in Szczecin this Saturday

Looking for something special to do in Szczecin this weekend? On Saturday, November 14, 2026, visitors will have a chance to step aboard Bursztyn Unity, one of Poland's newest passenger and vehicle ferries. The vessel is docked at the iconic Wały Chrobrego waterfront, and the open day will run from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. No advance registration is required.

The visit offers a fascinating look inside a modern Baltic ferry. Guests will be able to explore designated passenger areas and the enormous cargo deck, where vehicles and freight will be transported during regular sailings. Images showcasing the vessel also reveal its captain's bridge, passenger cabins, views of Szczecin from the decks and the Polish red-and-white flag flying aboard.

Built at the Remontowa Shipyard in Gdańsk, Bursztyn Unity is almost 196 metres long and can accommodate around 400 passengers. The ferry features a modern hybrid propulsion system combining liquefied natural gas (LNG) and battery technology. Once it enters regular service, it is expected to operate between Świnoujście in Poland and Ystad in Sweden.

Admission is free, and no advance booking is necessary. Visitors will board in organised groups accompanied by guides. However, the number of people allowed on the vessel at any one time is limited, so arriving early is recommended. Please note that joining the queue does not guarantee admission.

The ferry's visit is also a great reason to plan a weekend trip to Szczecin. After exploring the ship, take a walk along Wały Chrobrego, one of the city's most recognisable landmarks, and enjoy the views across the Oder River and the waterfront. Temporary traffic restrictions may be in place around the event area.
