Shetland Islands to Iceland, via the Faroe Islands

[johanna.bjork.s]

I wish to go home to Iceland on sea (not because of volcano... I thought it would be adventurous.)

There used to be a ferry going from Aberdeen to the Faroe Islands, connecting to the ferry there going to Iceland.
There isn't any more.

So I am looking for an alternative way to get home... without having to fly.
I have narrowed it down to the bit between the Shetlands and Faroe Islands (or Icleand... if that would be possible).
The ferry leaves for Iceland on monday the 24th of may.

Is there anyone sailing this rute, or might be able to tell me where to find someone, that would take on adventurous passangers or volenteers?

I am in Glasgow at the moment and will be here until around the 12th of may. Anything after that is good.

With hope of good replies

Sadly, we have no ship connection to Iceland or Faroe now

But, I think some of the Iceland cargo ships(Eimskip?) come and go to Britain so although it might mean you have to go down to a port in England it would still be a sea journey home.

You can watch/see the ships on this website. You can also use the search part to find the location of a ship.

P.S, my car has volcanic dust on it today!.

Better watch that volcanic dust, if it rains and gets wet it will turn sulphuric and won't do the paintwork any good best wipe it off with a dry cloth

Yes, EImskip and Samskip do sail from England, but however, they do not want people to join them. I have asked them already!

Thansk for the website-link. Ill take a look.

you would probably be better sailing to denmark and then getting on the Smyril line

Jóhanna Björk, it's interesting how you got around that issue, especially in the light of this topic:

Hope there will be a ferry link between Iceland and Scotland (via Faroes, Shetland and Orkney) one day.
