Car ferries sail from Aberdeen seven nights a week, year-round, arriving in Lerwick early the following morning. The voyage north aboard these large, comfortable, cruise-style ships makes a relaxing start to your holiday. Cruising up the coast of Shetland on a sunny morning gives a stunning first glimpse of our islands.
In summer we have weekly ferry connections to Norway, Denmark, Faroe and Iceland, with onward connections to Greenland and North America. Note: The current ferry link with Scandinavia will not operate after summer 2007, but there are plans for new connections so please contact us to enquire about this matter.
The ferries dock at Lerwick Ferry Terminal, where you'll find a Welcome Point with visitor information. It's a pleasant stroll along the waterfront to the main Shetland Tourist Information Centre at the Market Cross in the centre of the old town, less than a mile from the ferry terminal. Here our trained and knowledgeable staff will be delighted to answer your questions and help you plan the details of your time in Shetland.
