No, as I haven’t known any people to take those ferries as of this year. I wouldn’t be surprised if Denmark and Germany is a different story than Sweden.
I know that people who took the ferry to go between mainland Sweden and Gotland didn’t say anything about mask requirements to me, and many of these people — some of whom are Swedish doctors — are in the large group of Swedes who have been downplaying concern about this virus in Sweden for all of this pandemic period and think all has been and is well with the Swedish response to the pandemic. In other words, they would have been fussing over mask requirements.
Speaking of Gotland, Visby has horse-riding “knights” in medieval period costume in charge of trying to encourage social distancing. Not sure what good it does when most of the traffic to and from the island deals with the bottlenecks that come from using the ferry.
