We're quite keen to take Tottie to the Faroes and Iceland, but we're struggling to work out how to do it. (Last time I went Grey Funnel Line, but we only sailed round Iceland! see http://www.hmsbacchante.co.uk/page1.htm & http://www.hmsminerva.info/photos1.htm)

The operator seems to be Smyril Line, sailing from Bergen or Lerwick, but I cannot get a timetable nor price off their website. Comments and advice welcomed - what sort of price are we talking about? What are the pitfalls to avoid?

I met a guy recently who's done both (he was a journalist) told me scary tales of gradients and ash roads I'll try and come up with his name.

Smyril Line will be calling at Lerwick early and late next year, but apparently will be also calling at Scrabster (North Scotland) mid season. They exist mainly to serve the Faeroes (Torshavn) from Hantsholm (Denmark) but also call at Bergen (Norway) Lerwick (Shetland) and Seydisfjordur (Iceland). The full timetable for 2007 is not yet finalised, but will be fairly soon. I will post more when I can find out what is happening as they have just paid off all their staff in the Shetland Office.
