Your executive chauffeur to Aberdeen

Orkney and Shetland by sea

NorthLink’s ferries to Orkney and Shetland leave from Jamieson’s Quay in Aberdeen harbour. It’s about 343 miles from Ormskirk, so it’s one of our longest runs, and it means you can start your island trip without driving the length of the country.

The full-electric Mercedes V-Class is a calm, quiet place to start a trip: starlight ceiling, two TVs, a fridge, a table and leather seats for six. On the way back, tell us your return sailing and we’ll be waiting.
