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,
Annette

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, Hoping to go same time, will 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:

Iceland shipping
 

Used a company called "eimskip" a few years ago who shipped the bikes to Rekjavik while we flew over.
Return shipping was around £300 from Immngham in Linconshire.
Might be a saving on having to stay over in the faroes!

Norway to Iceland?
 

Does anyone know if the leg from Norway to Iceland has been cancelled as I can't see this on Smyril Line website...

Hey,

They are sailing from Danmark for the remainder of the year and next year as well as it seems. And then only from Hirtshals, northern Danmark.

You can see it here.

I am interested in how the getting from Scotland to Iceland and wonder if anybody has used passenger cargo and how much it is.

You could try shipping from Immingham, that's how some Icelanders I know come here..............I fly with my mountainbike from Glasgow now instead of taking my 1200GSA as it takes so long and costs so much to sail from Denmark/Faroes/Iceland compared to the Shetland/Faroes/Iceland route we used to use early season.


I just wish the Smyril Line Norrona ferry still called at Shetland as it sails right past and you can even see it!


Someone passed me on a R1200GSA when I was cycling down past Hvolsvollur in May and I must admit I had a pang of jealousy seeing 'my bike' in Iceland when I was having to slog out eighty miles a day in the peeing rain against a headwind!!!


Hope you get to ship your bike there!


FP.

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.

Free places in container
 

I will ship container with bikes to Iceland this summer. After 2-3 weeks we will ship the bikes back to Europe. PM me if you are interested...

Ressurecting an old thread - sorry


I've tried emailing a few cargo companies for shipping rates to Iceland but have not received a reply.


I don't want to waste half my annual leave riding to Denmark and then sitting on a boat for 3 days each way.


Looking for quotes for a few bikes from uk, to Iceland and then we fly in and pick them up.


I've got a few people interested but they can't commit with out an idea of finances.


Any one got a good contact for this??

Sambor at ADVFactory can pick bikes up from the UK and have them in Iceland for 2nd August, shipping them back early September via Warsaw.

DeeGee shipped last year. He's got a ride report either here or on ADVrider. You could ask who he used.

Shipping is confirmed and rules are simply. One price and no extra cost.

I shipped my bike from Oslo to Reykjavik with Samskip. Dropped it off at the terminal, luggage, riding gear, helmet, etc all locked to the bike. I went straight from the airport to the terminal and was riding inland shortly after. Going home, just dropped it off at the terminal. Picked it up at the Oslo terminal a good while later.
