We have just got back from The Faroe Islands by ferry. We were very lucky to have smooth waters both ways, absolutely loved it! And as for The Faroes……spectacular!
saw this ferry in seydisfjordur it was a day late and thousands were waiting to board. one of the most organized thing i had ever seen unloading and loading into a town of 600 people
Great commentary and travel advice-more scenery would be good for couch travellers like me!Pleased you noted wheelchair friendly cabins,makes a huge difference for us.Thanks!
well travel to iceland by ferry can be tricky especially when it's not summer season. during the winter is not necessary that you even get to iceland (they only guarantee trip to faroe islands and you can't really book a ticket to seydisfjordur before around 3 days before departure (they will know by then if ferry comes there or not). love the refurbishment of it (have been on that ferry twice - 2008 and 2010). back then the playing slots were in open space so you could play it all day long (remember the girl who was around my age (i was 13 back then hit a big win)
@@Trainviking As far as I know, the idea is currently very much, well, put on ice and it's not even in any kind of concrete planning stage at the moment. Could still take decades if it wil be realized at all, apparently the geological and financial issues are quite huge.
I saw on the news articles (you shared about the storm) that you travelled in late September! Good to know :) We are planning on taking this ferry (IS to DK) in July. Thanks for the video!
I would love it when they stop in Lewrwick again. I guess the Shetlands will be visited soon as well (actually too many things are happening now, but I want to plan a crazy.trip report weekend where I include the.Shetlands).
Vlogger: "Weather was very extreme due to climate change" Faroese: "Yeah, we had great weather this trip. Barely a wave over 50 feet and only two people got blown overboard."
The weather in the video wasn't extreme, although I'm sure that the storm was extreme near the epicenter. I remember bigger storms from when I traveled with Norröna as a kid. The captain did a good job of avoiding the worst of the storm.
The storm was extreme indeed and I'm sure it's also related to this part of the world and the timing of the journey. However it's a fact that more extreme weather is happening more often now.
@@Trainviking It was extreme in the middle, but what you showed in the video was the mild outskirts that's normal weather for Norway, the Faero Islands, Iceland and the seas between us. The Netherlands like England is sheltered and you rarely see truly extreme weather. Yes, you saw extreme weather while on the Faero Islands, those news papers proves that, but you definitely didn't include anything that qualifies in the video. And yes, I'm fully aware of the climate changes. But that doesn't mean that we've never had rough weather before. And even when there's extreme weather the majority of the storm is still just what we're used to. The difference that climate change makes I'd making the storm bigger, making the center more intense, making the storms more intense increasing the amount of water that they carry, allowing them to cause more severe floods. As for Norrøna being designed for bad weather, that's true, but it's still a car ferry, and car ferries in general should avoid the very worst of what the Atlantic can offer (and has offered for decades) You don't want cars moving around in the hull.
Deze trip staat ook al even boven aan mijn lijstje. Ik heb geen rijbewijs, een goede uitleg over het openbaar vervoer in IJsland zou dus welkom zijn. Ik veronderstel dat de fiets in veel gevallen geen optie is?
De fiets is een goede vraag, hier heb ik helemaal niet naar gekeken voor de boot. In IJsland is de fiets gewoon op de weg tussen de auto's tussen de plaatsen in, geen aanrader. Maar hoe het zit met fietsvervoer, zou ik echt niet weten als ik eerlijk ben.
I just copy the answer I gave on the previous 2 same questions I already have a video on those trains on the Alpen Express in 2019 / 2020 wintersport season, and probably I'll be taking them again soon or later. For the Erixx trains, maybe I'll feature that in a video in the future, however the main focus for this channel is to show you what it's like to travel on a more sustainable way of transportation for long distance and international journeys, local trains in Gwrmany that do not cross a border do in general not tick that box, but who knows what might happen in the future.
De prijzen zijn zeer flexibel en hangen ook van de accommodatie af aan boord van een boot. Je kunt de prijzen het beste bekijken via www.smyril-line.com Ook is het prijsniveau tussen IJsland en de Faroer veel lager en ik denk zelfs wel dat het op die route de goedkoopsye manier van reizen is. Van en naar Denemarken is dat zeker niet het geval (ongeacht of je naar de Färöer of naar IJsland gaat vanaf Denemarken). Dit heeft ook met vraag en aanbod te maken, de meeste mensen zitten tussen de Färöer en Denemarken aan boord.
@@Trainviking I went in Summer (July) but still had the same Nth atlantic storm between Shetland Is and Faroe Is so even in Summer you are not guaranteed a "nice" voyage. i still thought it was a fantastic experience (and I went on to Iceland after 3 day stopover in Faroe Is)
Traveling from Britain to Iceland by small planeHi I would like to inquire about the shortest trip possible from Europe to America (preferably New York), as I would like to travel to America within two months. I never want to get on a plane. I will go from Jordan to a European country (according to your answer) and then travel by ship to America. How can you help me and what is the shortest and most suitable trip? I have a fear of planes so I have to travel by ship. Thank you so much
Honestly there is almost nothing possible that wat. You can travel on board of the Queen Mary cruiseliner from the UK, what is a kind of a ferry. Otherwise try to see if you can board a cargo ship on the crossing, most cargo ships do take passengers as well.
Zoals ik in de video uitleg, is de reis iets anders gelopen dan verwacht en komt die voorlopig niet online. Misschien dat ik dit in de toekomst nog eens doe, want ik wil dat enorm graag online zetten.
