Was talking to a guy last week, He's taking the new direct ferry. Think he said it was a 32 hour crossing.

Hi All,
I would seriously like to get more info on getting to Iceland with motorcycle from the U.K, as it has been of great interest to me for a number of year to get there. All info, prices and suggestions greatly recieved, ferries or air freight.
Thanks..

Smyrl have been sailing from Danmark since 2007 when they cut out the Bergen and Shetland calls. I was on the last trip to Shetland, coming home from Germany.Smryl also got a £4million grant from Shetland council then decided not to call at Lerwick. We had a good trade with Iceland and Fårøe some firms went to the wall. There was a big tourist trade also. The Nørrona sails through Yell sound in Shetland an her way from Fårøe to Denmark, leaves a bitter taste.
