Hi everybody,
My boyfriend and I plan to ride our bicycle around the North See next summer and we are looking for a way to sail between Scotland and Norway. We really prefer avoid to fly, not very handy with bicycle :) Officially there is no ferry boat but maybe someone have an idea ?
Thank you,
Astrid
Hi Astrid,
We sailed from Shetland to Bergen the old capital of Norway, We caught a ferry from Thurso in Scotland, (although I do believe you can get one in Aberdeen?) to Orkney, then a ferry to Shetland. Nice cycling in Orkney, but weather prevented cycling in Shetland.
Anyhow these pages show how we did it..

Nice ferries to Orkney and Shetland too :-)
Good luck & Tailwinds

Hi !
Thank you for your answer,
this ferry line has been close a few years ago,
so we are looking for an other way to get there.
thank you,
