Dining on board

Whilst on board NorthLink Ferries ships to Orkney and Shetland, enjoy a snack, breakfast, light lunch or evening meal in our self-service and à la carte restaurants at reasonable prices.

Our menus feature a wide variety of meat, seafood and vegetarian options crafted around a selection of freshly-prepared local produce from the islands.

Open all day

On the Scrabster to Stromness route, our restaurant is open all day with the menu varying according to sailing times. With six crossings each day, breakfast, lunch and evening meals can all be enjoyed on board.

Breakfast

On the Aberdeen to Shetland route, there is no need to rush off the ship when you arriving in Lerwick or Aberdeen first thing in the morning. While car drivers need to be up and ready to disembark their vehicle on docking, it is possible for other passengers to stay on board and for drivers to return after unloading. Breakfast is served until 0900 and passengers can stay on board until 0930.

Evening meals

Departing from Aberdeen or Lerwick you can choose between our excellent self-service restaurant which is open on departure or, during the main season, choose a later meal in our à la carte dining room. Seating space in the a la carte restaurant is limited and we recommend that passengers book their table in advance - talk to our staff at time of reservation.

While our menus feature meat, seafood and vegetarian options, please contact us in advance if you have any special dietary requirements.
