Trips to Shetland
How our Shetland holidays work
This five day holiday combines coach travel from Scotland, overnight sailings with NorthLink Ferries and a comfortable hotel stay on Shetland. It is a relaxed way to explore the islands with an expert guide, without having to arrange ferries, internal crossings or entrances yourself. Exact day-by-day itineraries may be subject to change, but the core inclusions remain the same.
From Scotland to Shetland
Join the coach at pickups across Ayrshire, Glasgow, the central belt and beyond – including Ayr, Irvine, Kilmarnock, Glasgow, Paisley, Hamilton, Bathgate, Edinburgh Hermiston Gait, Halbeath Park & Ride, Perth, Falkirk and Dundee. Travel to Aberdeen for your overnight sailing to Lerwick on NorthLink Ferries, with cabin accommodation and meals included.
Overnight NorthLink Ferries
Sail overnight from Aberdeen to Lerwick and back on NorthLink Ferries. Settle into a comfortable inside or outside cabin with ensuite facilities and bedding, enjoy included meals on board, and relax in the ship’s lounges and public areas as you cross the North Sea towards Shetland’s rugged coastline.
