Lerwick
Shetland's stone-built harbour capital.
Region
Shetlands
Windswept islands and Norse crossings.
The Shetland Islands sit at the meeting point of Norse and Scottish history — a crossing that Norwegian vessels have made for a very long time.
Low, treeless and weather-shaped, the islands reward a slow arrival by sea: cliffs, voes and harbours that open only as you round them.
Good to know
Shore excursions are arranged with local partners and may include guided walks, coastal hikes, museum visits and scenic tours. They are usually booked separately, with details shared around four weeks before departure. Routes and port calls may change depending on weather and local conditions.
