Welcome on board of our Green Ship Nils Holgersson

Our TT-Line Green Ship Nils Holgersson offers 239 modern and comfortable cabins in various categories for around 800 passengers. On more than 3500 square meters of public areas such as the restaurant, the family lounge, the coffee lounge, the bar and the nearly 1200 square meter outside deck, the crossing with our Green Ship is a real experience.

Our ship was named after the popular main character from the children's story "Nils Holgersson's wonderful journey through Sweden". It was first published in 1906 by the Swedish author Selma Lagerlöf. In it, the story is about the boy Nils from Skåne in southern Sweden, who is lazy and mischievous. For this reason, he is turned into a Thumbelina and flies across Sweden on the back of a goose. After many travel adventures, he returns and is turned back into an ordinary boy because of his bravery and courage.

"Once there was a boy. He was, let us say, something like fourteen years old; long and loose jointed and towheaded. He wasn't good for much, that boy. His chief delight was to eat and sleep, and after that he liked best to make mischief."
