We attempted to do this trip in June/July 2021, but it got cancelled. When we saw it re-advertised with the same itinerary, we booked it very quickly. The previous trip was to be on a ship that we didn't know (Serenissima) and which we were slightly dubious about, so when we discovered that the ship for this trip would be one of our favourites (Hebridean Sky), we were even happier.


The two year wait was well worth it. There were a couple of minor last minute changes to the itinerary from the published route below. Firstly, we were prevented from landing on Vigur Island because of nesting birds there and instead went to nearby Ísafjörður, which was no problem. Secondly, we did not visit Suduroy in the Faroes, because it was completely shrouded in mist and the planned scenic coach tour would have been pointless. Instead we spent an extra day in Tórshavn and got to visit the fine museum there.
