I have a lot of luggage, what do I do?
In the season when M/S Ertholm sails, all cargo & goods must be ready for handling by the crew no later than 09:00 on the same day. If you arrive later than this, you will be advised of the next possible cargo & goods sailing. On days when the quantities of cargo & goods are large, it can be divided into several departures on the same day. See more under Practical - Cargo & Goods, including prices.
Handicap Parking
In the lower part of Gudhjem there are several FREE handicapped parking spaces.
Where else can I park?
We always recommend parking above the town in the FREE spaces, especially in high season when many people want to visit Gudhjem.
The paid parking down in the town has very few spaces, and currently costs Dkr. 30,- per hour from 10:00-16:00 during the period. See more under Practical - Parking in Gudhjem.
Change of port of call due to weather
In certain wind directions, Gudhjem cannot be called and Tejn port is used instead. If you are on a day trip and have sailed from one port and the ship has to call at another port on the return trip due to the weather, the shipping company will provide transport back to the port you came from. However, if the ship departs from Tejn in the morning and returns to Tejn in the afternoon, there will normally be no transport to Gudhjem. If you have spent the night on Christiansø, you may risk having to transport yourself from Tejn and back to your starting point.
