We offer public trips and crewed charters onboard our 62-foot schooner sailing ship. It provides a spacious and stable environment to enjoy the Faroe Islands coastline, wildlife, and impressive views. Although the ship is authentic to its history as an artist’s masterpiece and its status as the oldest ship built on the Faroe Islands, the Norðlýsið offers two modern toilets as well as heating and ventilation in the inside guest area.

Treat yourself to a unique experience onboard our iconic sailing ship.
