Taking The Longest Ferry Within The UK

I take the longest ferry journey within the UK from Aberdeen to Shetland. After completing my first Scotland road trip, I arrive in Aberdeen and board the 14-hour overnight NorthLink Ferries' ship to Lerwick, the capital of the Shetland Islands and the UK's most remote and northern region.

On my North sea journey, I stay in a Northlink cabin and enjoy a smooth ferry journey to Shetland. If you are interested in Shetland travel, I suggest you to watch my next video!

WHO AM I?
If we haven't met before... Hi, I'm Ruth 👋 and I recently bought a campervan to travel my home country of Scotland after living overseas for 12 years. I’ve hardly seen anything or been anywhere in Scotland and now is the time to change that!

    Just come across this Vlog. Love it!! I was the person that checked your tickets and made sure you hung the Hanger on your mirror, you had your gas turned off and directed you to Lane 2. Glad to see you had a great sailing and a wonderful time.

    The ship name Hjatland is the old Norse name for Shetland. Thier is a sister ship that does the same route and it is called Hrossey, Which is the old Norse name for Orkeny. A lot of Scandanavia\Danish influence can be seen on both islands. Shetland being more notable with the Up Helly'a Viking festival which is held each year.

    Best to visit Scotland in the Summer The rain is warm then

    Pronounced Yatland (Hjaltland - Old Norse for Shetland) :) and I can’t believe it, cabin 422 is my old cabin, they used to be crew cabins and I was the night bar man and that was my cabin for two weeks every month (we worked 2 weeks on 2 weeks off), obviously they have refurbished the cabins from crew cabins. But that’s my old home :) wowzers

    I loved the ferry trip from Aberdeen to the Shetland Islands last year but was a walk on passenger.Had a cabin with a view. My husband & I took our campervan on the ferry from Greece to Venice which was awesome. Slept in our van & was on the edge with amazing scenery. Sadly my darling husband died January 2022. Together we got up to the Orkney Islands in our campervan 2013

    Great video, Ruth! I've watched a lot of solo travellers and never really considered they're almost always guys, but then I click and this adventurous, charming, eloquent Scottish woman is exploring and I'm like "Yeah, it's about time". Have liked and subscribed; look forward to seeing more of your journeys :)

    I stumbled into your channel and have found the tour of Scotland to be very informative and your experience with the van to be entertaining. You have a really good production style, with this ferry trip being one of the best ones yet. Thanks for the experience.

    日本と違う雰囲気や食事が興味深いです。フェリーに乗る前に案内してくれた男性の英語が聞き取りやすくて 上品に感じました。
  • @paulpayton8238
    Hey Ruth I love it on the ferry ⛴ it's like home from home nice on the deck to and love the Scottish Islands thanks for sharing memories 😀 ❤
  • @norfilmshetland
    Speaking as an Islander, a very fair and accurate review. The biggest complaint with the boats are the cabins - which you have to book months in advance in the high season.....a nightmare if you have to travel at short notice
  • @Michael43713
    I wasn't sure at first but now I definitely would.
  • ルースさんの本格的な旅の始まりですね。楽しみにしています。 日本とは違う食事が大位に興味深く、旅での人々との交流を見るのが楽しみです。 どうぞ気を付けて行ってらっしゃい。
  • @inger233
    Fantastic, down to Earth channel. Great output.
  • @shipstar4340
    日本では無表情で事務的に感じる事が多いのですが、そちらは乗船手続きの人が優しく素敵な旅の予感がしました。そして帽子をとったルースさんがとってもエレガント。
  • I believe the "w" gets pronounded in Lerwick (Ler-wick). An Icelandic man once told me 'wick' was an old Scandinavian word for 'harbour'

    Hi Ruth, I miss Scotland. Fantastic place to live. 20 years back, I converted a transit van into a makeshift home for a week & drove to Oban. I caught the 6.30am ferry to Mull & spent a week travelling around the island. I wanna see all the outer islands one day ❤
  • @01seiyer74
    スコットランドのフェリーを見て、へーって感じでした。夕飯も朝ごはんもおいしそうでした。 帽子をとると、若く見えますね。素敵です。😁
