Take the ferry to Shetland and Orkney
NorthLink Ferries sail daily from Aberdeen to Shetland and from Shetland to Aberdeen, sailing every evening and arriving the following morning.
These ships call in at Orkney frequently, arriving in the late evening before sailing on to Aberdeen or Lerwick.
NorthLink Ferries also sail from Scrabster on the north coast of Scotland to Stromness in Orkney. This is the only ferry crossing to take you past the breathtaking Old Man of Hoy.
The 90 minute crossing takes place up to three times a day.
Enjoy a journey like no other before arriving at your destination feeling refreshed and ready to begin your Orkney and Shetland island adventure.

I’m so obsessed with this family of Otters that I combine my love of cycling and photography in one now and carry my big lens with me when I go out. You just never know what you’ll see 📸

Bull 72 always blows my mind when I see him. The enormous six foot dorsal fin and his agility for an Orca of that size is incredible. In December we had a front row seat to watch him and the 27s pod of seven Orca come very close into shore on a seal kill - and my family and I were within a few feet of the action 😳
