Iceland
 

I visit Shetland once or twice a year and was stunned to learn that Smyril had stopped the run. ( Smyril/ politics/ whatever).I did the run to the Faroes once and planned to do it again until I got wind of the news, and probably Iceland too. Has anyone got any info on, at the very least, cabin share, to reduce the costs at least a TINY bit, from Scrabster? What does the Icelandic government have to say about this as it surely must have some impact on the tourist economy? Gill

check out the prices!
 

just found this after some tips from a friend!
www.seaview.co.uk/ferries/smyril_line/booking.html
was quoted £252 on a couchette! or £316 in shared accomadation.

What would a shipping container cost to get to Iceland and then back again after say 2 or 3 weeks?

Seems that with 10-12 bikes this could be a reasonable option. I've no experience with mass bike shipping but it seems that there is a limited window to visit Iceland and there is probably sufficient demand.

Been contemplating Iceland for some time now but the logistics seem to put me off.

Any ideas?

I was talking to a bloke online the other night who says he has done iceland. he told me its cheaper to fly you & your bike from rotterdam than get the ferry.
ive not looked into this, but he seemed sure of it so it could be worth investigating.
