The Northern Isles shops onboard the ferries to Shetland and Orkney

Frequently Asked Questions: Shops and Cinemas

Can I use credit cards or cheques in the shops and restaurants?

You can use cash (Sterling or Euros) credit or debit cards and cheques with a banker’s card. We also accept Sterling or Euro Traveller’s cheques.

The cards we accept are Mastercard, Visa, Switch and Delta or any other cards bearing one of these logos. We regret we are unable to accept Visa Electron or Solo cards. Purchases above certain amounts will require a telephone call for authorisation; this is no reflection on you and we would ask passengers co-operation in this matter.

Reception staff will cash a UK cheque if presented with a valid banker’s card, up to the maximum amount indicated on the card.

Are there shops on the ferries?

Yes, each ship has a branch of ‘Northern Isles’ shop, offering a wide range of products, including books, magazines, maps and guide books, travel requisites, local jewellery, crafts and knitwear, confectionery, wines and spirits, and a deli counter featuring local produce.

Is there a cinema on board?

On Hjaltland and Hrossey one of the recliner lounges has drop-down aircraft style screens as well as a large plasma screen at the front. We will be showing latest release movies up to three times per voyage and tickets will be on sale in the shop, priced at £4.95, including free headsets. Children under 12 years of age will be admitted (Film Category permitting) for £3.25. Access to this area during movies will be limited to cinema customers only. Information about programme and times will be on the information screens and leaflets and announced at departure time.

Can you tell me which films will be showing?

Our cinema page is updated on Monday mornings to show the weeks films.
