Lovly memories. We made the trip 10 years ago. We rented a campingbus in Hamburg to avoid the horrible costs in Iceland. We made a 3 day stopover on the Faroe islands. That trip is one of our favorite holiday experiences.
What a great idea! Sounds like the best way to experience Iceland, too! May i ask what time of year you went, and did you have much of a problem with mosquitoes? I live in the American southeast and we have some ungodly bugs here (our giant roaches fly). My neighbors nephew was visiting from Iceland one summer, and the poor kid was flailing like a maniac everytime he went outside lol. That led me to believe Iceland is a place for me - bugless 😂. Bless,
It was nice to see Seydisfjordur again after more than 52 years.
!n the summer of 1968 we, 3 of us, sailed in a 10 mtr sailboat from Delfzijl, Holland with destination Seydisfjordur. In the Northsea we had a force 8 Northwesterly on our way to Aberdeen and from there straight to the eastcoast of Iceland. Had pretty good weather and it took about 2 weeks to reach S. , flew to Reykjavik and visited the hotsprings. On our return trip the wind was bad and returned to Neskopstadur and waited for the storm to pass and set course to Thorshavn where the Dutch Consul invited us over for dinner and a nice hot bath and the next day of to Bergen, Norway and from there back ¨home¨. We had a bad storm along the way, but otherwise not bad. But many in Iceland told us the boat is too small for the North Atlantic, also they had never seen a sailboat in S. and everybody were driving Japanese Jeep type 4x4, as the area was secret testing grounds for Japenese 4x4s
One day would like to take the ferry back to Seydisfjordur.
Wow!!! That is amazing! In those days "adventure travel" did not exist. You were pioneers and true adventurers. That was high risk and great fun. Congrats! You didn't have all the fancy cold weather gear either. If I wore a hat I would take it off to you! If you want to share any more stories I would love to read them...
Wow, that was some adventure. Good on you.
And I thought I was adventurous when I hitch hiked across Europe!!!
Thank you for sharing your story
My friends from Ohio took this ferry From Denmark to Iceland. They said it was absolutely wonderful. Gorgeous scenery and very nice people.
Would like to have seen more of the inside of the ship - cabins - restaurant - facillities.

@@LouisHansell You're welcome.
At 19:00 the way the Smyril maneuvers is a good example of just how amazing new drive systems have become. Happy Trails
Really nicely edited adventure that moves us right along with lots of information along the way! Well done.
The Faroe Islands are proud of our ferry, but most of us loved the old Nörröna which was a bit smaller, but she was so cosy and warm:) she is still operating somewhere in south america as a christian aid ship if i am correct, not 100% sure:)
Wonderful video btw👍❤️

Thanks for taking me along on a nostalgic journey. I made this trip some 25 years ago with a VW camper. I dearly love ferry travel.
Absolutely stunning report. I love that kind of scenery.
HOWDY, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, discovered your channel today. You sure are a great ambassador, now this is on bucket list for sure. thanks for sharing.
Beautifully shot video. I will put this ferry trip on my to do list!
Prompted by this video I travelled on the Norröna on its Aug. 16-18, 2023 crossing from Hirtshals to Seyðisfjörður (delayed by a day owing to bad weather). It did not disappoint! No, it’s not like cruising with Viking or Carnival, but the old tub has a funky-friendly ambience that seems exactly appropriate to its workhorse duties. I was particularly taken with the bookshelves in the Deck 5 bar, where I spent a lot of time just sitting and looking out at the ocean. As in the video, the Faroes were the high point. Thanks for making me aware of this wonderfully unpretentious, down-to-earth treasure.
What a fantastic video. It's the first time that I have heard of this route. It's definitely on my "must do" list of motorcycle journeys now!
I really like the informative bits all along the way. Thank you.
Such an excellent video, lots of touristic information, Gorgeous scenery and of course breath taking views and I had no idea there was a Ferry from Denmark to Iceland and Vice Versa.
Nicely done, but I would have liked some views of the cabins and other facilities on board - I understand that it is well appointed, but you did not show this to us.
One of my dream trips. Thank you for posting.
Greetings from England, really enjoyed the vid , thanks
The Faroe Islands is on my bucket list of places I want to visit. These ferry trips are a vital lifeline for many of these islands. I think in our fast lives we tend to forget how things work and are interconnected. Happy Trails
I did the same trip with my own car in 2005... the most amazing of my life. Still remember 54 hours on Norrona from Bergen to Iceland
I also enjoyed my trip to Iceland 😀, thanks for watching my video
What a pleasant and elegant journey!!!!THANKS for the cruise on-show!!!!
I miss when this ship visited Norway on its route. (I live in Norway and got family in Iceland and the Faero islands).
I was in Copenhagen last month it was just an amazing trip. I want to come back again but doing this trip in ferry.
This is such a great clip. Lots of information of what the viewer is seeing. Thank you
Wow, what an outstanding video, such a beautiful area. Thank you for sharing the adventure. Take care, Joe
Incredible scenic journey! Thanks for sharing! Liked and subscribed!
Wow, what a beautiful video, thanks.
Wow I didn’t even know the Faroe Islands existed until now... they look like a beautiful spot but must be one hell of a place in the winter... learn something new every day I suppose!
This was fantastic. I love traveling by sea and Iceland is my favorite travel destination. I will definitely try to work this out in the future. Thanks for making such an informative video!
Very good, very atmospheric. Thank you.
Very cool video. If you should decide to to a part two, do consider showing the interior of the Diner, more interior shots like, your stateroom, the auto deck, etc. Gosh, I never knew one could drive from Canada to Denmark, thanks to these ferries, at one time. Very sorry to read in these comments that isn't possible anymore.
Edit:
Okay... DUH! Had I the good sense to have read the first commentI would have found everything I wanted! Thanks for posing the links!
Stunning, beautiful, tremendous video. Wish you had more interior shots of the restaurants, etc, amenities on board the ship. Thank you.
Thanks for not ruining your video with continuous music. This journey is going to the top of my bucket list. Thanks :)
Wish the ferry service from Newfoundland to Iceland still ran, would be nice to be able to ride/drive to Europe from North America without having to use an airplane.
When was that service discontinued, from Newfoundland to Iceland?
@@murrayaronson3753 Rumours tell Leif den Lykkelige changed the travel schedule around year 1000
I'm too lazy to check, but isn't there a regular ferry between New York and Southampton (UK)?
More occasional than regular nowadays, but through the early 70's there were more sailings between New York and/or Southhampton/Cherbourg.
Go figure
I was inspired to go to Iceland in Feb.2017 after watching the thriller made there called 'Trapped' and I believe much of it was filmed around the port of Seyðisfjörður and based much upon the fictitious characters of this ship. I wanted to travel this exact route next time, so very pleased for the upload. All I know it would be a hugely expensive trip all in from Scotland.
Me too! And Scotland is a dream destination listed in my travel plans. And much more expensive, leaving from Brazil!
@@JOAOVITORLINZ Trapped too!!! Assistindo a série no Netflix! Mesmo aos 70 ainda me imagino fazendo uma viagem daquelas vistas nos filmes e na reportagem acima! Abraços!
Again, beautifully done. Looking forward to more.
Thank you for taking us on your journey 😀 I do enjoy watching people visit places that I’m unlikely to ever see firsthand
Thanks so much for the ride along. Very interesting places. Cheers.
really enjoyable video regards from ireland
What a wonderful trip....thanks so much.
Lovely video. Must go on the ship one day. Thanks for posting.
Excellent video. I was in Iceland in Apr and this makes me want to go again and maybe cruise there. Love the pure air and wonderful food. I was happy to see the Faroe Islands on this video.
I've enjoyed this trip soooooo much as if I was there, someday I'll visit all those beautiful landmarks 😍🎉🎉
thanky you so much: for giving a comprehensive impression of that journey. i learned a lot and will do that trip myself, after the actual corona-problems, of course.
What a fabulous video. I was able to visit a strange world, all while in the warm comfort of my home in Memphis, Tennessee. Thank you.
Just watched this video again - really enjoy it! What an amazing trip. Travel via ferry is a great idea.
The Vikings cross that very stretch of water in wooden boats same route
Woow.. yes?!
And they did not even have WIFI---AMAZING!
The Vikings were incredible seafarers. They were all over the North Atlantic. Scandinavia to Iceland, Greenland and the Canadian east coast, where they also had a settlement centuries before Columbus got anywhere near the Americas, is a well “plowed route”. The Vikings did this with sheer guts and ancient navigational tools. In those days seafarers new how to figure out latitude, but not longitude making navigation very difficult. It only became possible to calculate longitude after a British carpenter, John Harrison invented the marine chronometer in the 1730s.
@@julianneheindorf5757 ... Yes! The Vikings were remarkable seafarers, able and willing to venture out as far as weather and sea conditions would permit at any given season. And no doubt -- sailing among the massive snow-draped fjords -- its not hard to imagine that they could sense the reality of their ancient religion surrounding their day to day lives. I doubt they ever gave much thought to the idea of sailing too far and dropping off the edge of the earth.
@Riki Rikin kanayin If there is not one single month per year with an average temperature above 10 °C, no trees can grow. But there are trees on Iceland, not very many but some. (And parts of Iceland do have temperatures warm enough for that.)
Second time I have watched this. Ultimate ferry journey 😊
Beautiful scenery, great liner and superb video!
What a nice trip this is.......thanks you for charring this online
Nice video. A couple years ago I took the Viking Line round trip from Stockholm to Helsinki. It was in September. The fare was dirt cheap. Almost free, including a private room.
Have done this as well! Quite the ride going through all the islands on your way out of Stockholm.
@@sdot5389 :)
I wish I could get a chance in this lifetime to enjoy this trip.
Thanks for sharing, great video and great ideas for vacations.
That was wonderful!!! Inside of this vessel is very beautiful! I love being able to see such wonderful places!!!💗💗💗💗💗
Wonderful video, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it :) Maybe one day I can make this journey !
I really love seeing the Nordic World Which to me always seems so advanced and clean and peaceful.
Now this is a trip I really want to go on - return of course. Saw the ship passing Shetland when I was there in October 2015 and wondered then what the route was. Now I know and can't wait to do it. Great video. I'm subscribed now.
Amazing tour. I like to travel preferably in the Summer season.
Great film. fantastic scenery.
Very nice video, thanks. Greetings from Istanbul/Turkey
Thanks for sharing this incredibly scenic trip.
A very, very nice piece of work. Thank you so much. Well done !
Very interesting, many thanks!
Holy Crap on a Cannoli! This is now on my bucket list!
This was a fascinating video! Thank you for posting it!
Amazing. The cruise, scenic beauty, coverage of entire trip. All r superb. Calm peaceful and beautiful. Thank u for sharing this video. Great job. Love from India
....and I actually have a bottle of Icelandic Glacial Water, from Olfus Spring, in my refrigerator at the moment. Amazingly pure water made all the more enjoyable when watching this vid. Loved it and thank you from Australia.
TheDowner: I think they were pretty harmless. I’m still here two years later. 🤣
I have some of that in my tap 😁
Beautiful trip...i'd love to be on board!!!
So very nice to see this is now on my list of places to go!👌👍👣
This is why I love the internet. Travel the North Atlantic and visit Iceland from my living room in Canada. Great job. Thanks
I would love to travel there ... thank you for a great video
Me too.
Nice video! You wrote that "cruiseferry services also operate to Kristiansand" ...etc. But there is also a daily departure to Langesund in Telemark by Fjordline.
Absolutely stunning report. I love that kind of scenery. Looks as though that will be added to the must do list. Will most certainly subscribe.
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching :)
Iceland and Faroe Islands have been on my bucket list for years. I wish I could make it possible someday. And now when I watch this joint video of both of my favourite places... I am literally dying to visit asap ❤️ thanks for the information and beautiful video. 👍🏻
Greetings from Seyðisfjörður :)
A wonderful journey i see through the video .. While I am setting in my home at Giza - Egypt ... Thank you .
Incredible scenery. Loved it.
Thanks for showing the beauty of sea voyaging!
I really enjoyed watching this video especially since I am now watching the Amazon Series- Trapped which feature this very town in Iceland as well as the ship
Watched Trapped twice and wondered if this was the town. You confirmed it - thank you.
I must really start to include ferries into my itineraries. They look like great fun.
Planes, Trains, Everything. They can be, but do research the ship being used first as some are less luxurious than others, especially those that cater mostly to trucks.
Stunning video of stunning landscapes
what a great presentation! Thank You!
Thank you for sharing these videos, great stuff, thanks again :)
Hello dear
How are you...?
This is on my bucket list for sure.
Video is very well done and informative. Thank you!
I will make that trip in October...already very excited ;), thanks for the video!
Beautiful country and people, hope to visit there sometime again, gotten a lot older and more "wise"(I like to believe).
Oh memories - had a nice trip on this ship in 2010. Spotted a whale and had really amazing views of faroer islands and Iceland.
I bet that was the sight of a lifetime.
I have just decided this is the way I will arrive into Iceland, amazing video! :)
Wonderful video, thanks for posting.
Wow! for me, it is tooo cold! LOL beautiful beautiful video. Thank you for sharing.
