Two ferries with a very
different profile
The Faroese Smyril Line and the Greenlandic Arctic Umiaq Line are
fundamentally different with a common goal. They both want to make the
journey a positive experience for their passengers.
Smyril Line’s flagship “Norröna” takes
passengers, cars and goods from the continent.
It embarks from the Danish port of
Hirtshals and Tórshavn in the Faroe Islands
is the first stop. The cruise ferry continues
to Seyðisfjörður in Iceland.
Established in 1982 the “Norröna ships
of Smyril Line has been the motorway of
the North Atlantic and considered a wellestablished
institution among adventurers
and travelers, who want to relax and prepare
the soul on the way to their destinations.
Not only does Smyril Line provide
point-to-point ferry transportation, the
company also arranges a trip with the
duration of one week around the North
Atlantic islands named Viking Cruise.
Recently Smyril has also started a cooperation
with HK Bussar on sightseeing tours
to different destinations at the Faroe Islands.
The Faroese concept is very much different
from the one in Greenland, where
Arctic Umiaq Line runs the “Sarfaq Ittuk”
“Norröna” has plowed the North Atlantic on the route to the Faroe Islands and Iceland since 2004.
along the west coast from Qaqortoq in the
south to Ilulissat in the north. The ice classified
costal vessel is a passenger ship only
with limited cargo capacity.
A voyage with “Sarfaq Ittuq” is a once
in a lifetime experience. Not only is the
ship passing the most spectacular sights, it
also give the tourist passenger a possibility
to get in very close contact with the local
inhabitants, who are using the ferry as
transportation in a country with no road
connections.
For the coming season the vessel has
gone through a complete renovation, and
today “Sarfaq Ittuk” is as attractive as the
day it left the shipyard. The passengers are
very satisfied with the service on board.
During the summer they can benefit from
the ship guides, who present the destinations
visited by the ship.
“Sarfaq Ittuk” is passing some of the most spectacular
sceneries along the west coast of Greenland.
