Shipping to Iceland
 

Has anybody had experiance of shipping their bike to iceland by air or by ship and flying there later after their bike has arrived.

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

Smyril Line
 

Smyril Line operates ferry from Norway and Denmark to Iceland (with stopover on Faroe Islands).

Iceland
 

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..

Do you know where this ferry runs from and who operates it??

I booked with Smyril. Direct from Scotland upto Iceland for August. 3 days in Faroes on way back or stop off at shetland islands for a day.
approx £200 for couchette, bike and 1 passenger

Hi Simon,

That sounds like an excellent trip. I have wanted to go to the faroe islands and iceland for a while. Could I give you a phone call sometime and find out more details as I would like to do a similar trip myself.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

I'm also planning a trip to Iceland this summer :)
I should be departing from Scrabster, Scottland on august 8th, ride a week in Iceland and come back by Denmark to France.

I have just had my Smyril ferry passage confirmed. It leaves from Scrabster 02.00 on the 27th July goes via Faroes and arrives Iceland 09.00 on the 28th July so a sailing time of 31 hours, the return cost was 225 GBP for bike and rider. On the return from Iceland 12th Aug to Scrabster I have a 3 night stop over in the Faroes. It is possible to avoid the 3 day stopover in Faroe and carry on to Denmark.

See you on board

Steve managed to lose your email address, Was wondering the best way to insure bike when in Iceland ? Also do Smyrill line provide all lashing straps for securing bike bearing in mind i only have a side stand. Awaiting conformation from smyril Line re booking 11/7 to 23/7 think you arrive back on the boat we leave on.:oops2:
