Faroe Islands Getting from Shetland to the Faroes easily?
Posted: Sun September 21, 2008 07:09 PM UTC
Hi, seems to be a lot of conflicting information about how to get from Shetland to the Faroes. I'm looking to go to the Shetlands in June 2009 and hope to spend a couple of days over in the Faroes, getting a plane back to London. Smyril Line doesn't seem to go to the Shetlands any more, so what would be the easiest way of making the journey?

Thanks, ec.

Atlantic Airways flies from London, thoughonly twice a week and not all through the year year.

Smyril Line does serve the Faroes (Torshavn) from Scotland (Scrabster) but only on Wednesdays. Timetables here:

Haha, it's OK, that's my problem. Doesn't seem to be a direct way to get from one to the other even though they are practically neighbours!

Yes, is weird but (apparently) true.

I suppose no-one actually wants to do the trip on a regular-enough basis to make it financially viable.
