Sailing voyage Dublin – Faroe Islands
28 July – 7 August 2027 | approx. 560 nautical miles
At the end of July 2027 the ship sets course northwards from Dublin. In eleven days we sail from Ireland to the Faroe Islands — a route of around 560 nautical miles, where coastal waters and open sea alternate. It is a voyage that gradually detaches itself from the mainland and slowly opens out into the vastness of the North Atlantic.
From Dublin we leave the Irish Sea and steer northwards towards the narrow North Channel. Here — depending on wind and tides — various sheltered harbours and anchorages offer themselves for the first legs. Bangor is a lively maritime stop, whilst Cushendun and Ballycastle feel quieter and more rugged, nestled between green hills and cliffs. Off the coast lies Rathlin Island, where seabirds and currents shape the character of this sailing area.
From here several possible routes open up. Depending on conditions, we can cross to Scotland via the Mull of Kintyre and call at the sheltered waters of the Inner Hebrides, then sail northwards via Islay and Jura towards the Sound of Mull. Between these islands lie numerous anchorages, quiet bays and small villages where the pace of the voyage slows — with possible stops in Oban or Tobermory or an anchorage off Jura.
Another option is a western route along Islay towards the small island of Staffa, known for its basalt formations and the puffins that nest on the cliffs in summer. From there possibly onwards to the more rugged island of Rum, before we continue our way to the Outer Hebrides.
If wind and weather are stable and favourable, a detour to St Kilda may also be possible — a remote archipelago in the Atlantic. The islands rise steeply from the sea and are surrounded by some of the highest bird cliffs in Europe, where large colonies of gannets, petrels and puffins nest. The remains of former village life are still visible and lend the place an almost timeless, mythical atmosphere. A visit is only possible in suitable weather conditions, however.
Gradually we set course for the Outer Hebrides. We may first call at Tarbert, a small harbour town on the east coast of Harris, just a short walk from the Atlantic. Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis is also a logical stopover before we prepare for the longer crossing to the Faroe Islands. From Stornoway around 260 nautical miles of open sea lie before us — a stretch on which the ship steadily finds her way through the ocean, under a sky that seems even wider and deeper at sea.
When the Faroe Islands appear on the horizon, the character of the voyage changes once more. Steep cliffs rise from the sea, grass-green slopes reach down to the coast and narrow fjords cut deep into the land. In the final days we take time to sail between the islands, explore anchorages and — where possible — go ashore for walks through the landscape and along small villages.
The voyage ends in Miðvágur on the island of Vágar, but not before we have explored the area around Vestmanna with its bird cliffs and grottoes. Here, all the elements of the journey come together once more: open sea, islands, wind and time.
Those who sail to the Faroe Islands aboard this ship follow no rigid itinerary, but opportunities. Which route we choose exactly, which harbours we call at and how long we are at sea are determined by wind, weather and the moment. Yet every course northward carries the same promise: vastness, movement and the intense experience of being under way.
