Smyril Line operates an all year cruise and car ferry service by the big car ferry, Norrøna, with regular sailings to the Faroe Islands. In the summer time there is service twice a week. The Ferry continues onwards to Denmark (Hirtshals) from the Faroe islands. On Iceland the ferry departs from Seyðisfjörður on the east coast. It is the only ferry service with a scheduled services to Iceland.
Due to the recession, Smyril Line will not be operating to Scrabster or Bergen in 2009, 2010 or 2011. All passengers to/from the UK and Norway must now go via Denmark. Also the passage from/to Iceland is cancelled during winter season.
Getting to the Faroes by boat takes longer than by plane but has the advantage of allowing you to take your own vehicle. Single passage is priced between 54 Euro in off-season and 78 Euro in high season (2011).
For people arriving by yachts, there are several harbors around the islands. The best are found in the capital Tórshavn, Klaksvík, Tvøroyri, Vágur, Vestmanna, Sørvágur, Miðvágur, Runavík, and Fuglafjørður.
