Over 1 million seabirds, 10 thousand seals, 1,000 otters and 800 species of wildflower ...

Sample Tour:

Start any day of the week, departing from Aberdeen

DAY 1 - Depart Aberdeen on-board the NorthLink cruise ferry and sail overnight in your comfortable en-suite twin outer cabin.

Shetland - You arrive in Lerwick at 07.30. Breakfast is served until 09.00 (not included in the holiday price) and you can stay on board until 10.00.

The spectacular scenery makes Shetland one of the best places in Britain for wildlife watching.
Boat trips get you close to cliffs teeming with thousands of seabirds at Noss Nature Reserve while seals bob around. A short ferry journey transports you to the tranquil island of Mousa, home to an Iron Age Broch over 2,000 years old with beehive chambers and galleries.

The ancient Jarlshof settlement spans 3,000 years from the Stone Age. Nearby is the RSPB Reserve at Sumburgh Head. You can also visit Britain's most northerly islands of Yell and Unst.

DAY 5 - Visit a favourite site before sailing overnight from Lerwick at 17.30 or 19.00 in your en-suite twin outer cabin. You arrive in Aberdeen the following morning.

Price shown is for 3 nights in Shetland ( 5 nights total, including 2 overnight ferries) but you are welcome to stay as long or short as you wish.
