Northlink Ferries Routes

    North Link

    Travel on a voyage of discovery to Orkney and the Shetland islands with NorthLink Ferries! There are daily sailings from Scrabster to Stromness in Orkney as well as nightly sailings from Aberdeen to Lerwick in Shetland; four of these go via Kirkwall, the capital of Orkney. NorthLink Ferries is a wholly owned subsidiary of CalMac, and is thus operated by the Scottish Government to provide these vital links to the Northern Isles.

    NorthLink's fleet, MV Hjaltland, MV Hrossey and MV Hamnavoe, was purpose built for the service and offer cruise-liner standards in safety and comfort. Onboard there are lounges and bars to relax in, self-service and à la carte restaurants serving excellent food, play areas and, of course, a choice of well-appointed cabins. On the Aberdeen routes there's also cinemas showing the latest Hollywood movies.

      Trip to orkney
      • Rough seas. Staff were lovely. Check in for onward journey had a hiccup in that we were only booked on leg 1 not leg 2 but staff quickly rectified it maybe something to check if like us you are returning to a different port

      Good company to travel with
      • An easy trip, helpful staff. We had a nice cabin, clean and tidy. One down side the lack of gluten free food.
