NORÐLÝSIÐ – Iconic Faroese sailing ship
Restored by the Faroese artist Tróndur Patursson in the 80s, the Faroese-built wooden sailship Norðlýsið (nor-lui-si) has become an icon for visitors and locals alike. The ship offers the perfect way to experience the Faroe Islands from the sea. Although authentic, the ship offers modern toilets, heating and ventilation for our guest’s comfort. Experience the Faroe Islands from the sea in the morning, the afternoon or in the bright Faroese summer evening. Or go on the sea grotto concert tour for the adventure of a lifetime – a live acoustic concert in a deep sea cave.
Or, alternatively, take the “fish & eat trip” and fish as people did in the old days. Naturally, the trip ends with a meal, prepared from the catch. Check availability on the website.
Sightseeing: 3hr30s, 950 DKK
Grotto concert: 5 hours, 1,850 DKK
Fish & Eat: 4 hours, 1,500 DKK
