Travelling with children

Kids will love travelling with NorthLink Ferries to Orkney and Shetland and here’s why:

 

Vikling’s Den

A play area at sea! The Vikling’s Den is perfect for our young passengers with toys, games, activities, tables and chair and a television with children’s films and TV shows.  Although this is a safe environment, it is not supervised and children remain your responsibility while on board.

Both the MV Hjaltland and MV Hrossey have cinemas showing films during sailings. Usually, the first film of the evening is aimed at our younger travellers and certified either a U or PG. Click here to see the films currently being shown in the cinema.
