Hi all--
I am planning on taking the ferry from Frederikshavn to Göteburg in April. I've seen the StenaLine schedules... ouch. I cannot leave so early as 14:00, because I'm actually going to Frederikshavn to visit (doing Genealogy research). The fact that there is a ferry to Sweden is oh-so-convenient. We are not going to Göteburg to see it; it will be a stopover en route to Stockholm.
My question is, if we're getting in at 23:00, where would be the best place to stay? I can't find much information about the station, and I don't want to be trying to find the metro in the dark, only to find out it isn't running, and then flagging down a cabbie. I haven't always had the best luck with stations in this way....
Also, someone (8 years ago though) mentioned that there was a fast ferry. Can't find anything about this. Any ideas?
Any help you can provide would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

The Stena Line timetable for Fredrickshavn-Goteborg is at http://tinyurl.com/3md8ngz. It is a Dutch .nl site but is all in English. Stena also provides a long list of hotels in Goteborg. I made this crossing a couple of times years ago by car and by train. As I recall the whole train rolled on board the ferry. There may be bus service to the dock but anticipate the need for a taxi. The purser on board can give you good advice.
The high speed ferries are the two hour crossings, Stena Line Express. Those are nice ships. I took one from Ireland to Scotland a few years ago.
There is probably a duty free shop on board. If you enjoy booze stock up. In Sweden you suffer with the moon high prices at the state alcohol monopoly Systembolaget.
Thanks spaarne! I think I figured this out. The timetable you sent me is only for high season, starting in June, which is why I hadn't seen anything about the Express sailings... they don't run until June. It looks like I am stuck with slow-boat at 10 pm.
I appreciate your help!
Thanks!!
