Hello Sir, I’m working in this ship. Thank you so much for making this video and for giving a nice review. On behalf of all the crew and staff I would like to extend my gratitude for appreciating our full efforts and dedication to give our passengers a good experience on board. We’re looking forward to seeing you again on board Norröna.😊
If you like interesting ferry rides, try the Alaska State Ferry, pretty much any route. But the route that feels most like a cruise is from Bellingham to Juneau, Skagway, or Haines (or the reverse). Fly to one terminus, take the ferry for about 3 days, fly home from the other terminus. Spectacular scenery, spectacular wildlife, no glitz or commercialism.
@@MyFiddlePlayer What's the chance? I was coming here to write the exact same damn thing Unbelievable, highly recommend this. I went the other way with a car from skagway to Bellingham. And unlike a cruise ship. You can jump off and check out a little town for a couple days until the next ferry comes through
This ship used to stop off at Scrabster (far north of mainland Scotland) on its way to Iceland. About 20 years ago I packed my tent on my bicycle and headed to the highland port. I couldn't afford a cabin; just slept on the deck. I remember there was a small cinema on the ship. I remember arriving in the beautiful village of Seyðisfjörður and cycling over the mountain to get to the Ring road. I cycled completely around the island; camped by glaciers, lava field and black sand beaches, then three weeks later I was back on board and I stopped of at Torshaven for three days. It was the journey of a life. Seyðisfjörður is the setting for the brilliant Icelandic nordic noir tv series "Trapped"; the Norrona also stars in the film. Great to see it again.
That was the old Norrøna you've been on then, the one that is used on the route now is newer, and bigger than the old one (the new one doesn't roll so much in bad weather as the old one did)
@@jakupmadsen490, I wondered about that, as I looked into taking my VW van to Island*, via Scrabster, in the 80s. It would've been my 2nd trip to Iceland, but ended up doing a 6 week trip around Norway instead. Happy days. *oops, used the Icelandic spelling by habit 😄 🇮🇸 🇸🇪 🇩🇰 🇳🇴 🇫🇴
Trapped was actually filmed and set in Siglufjörður on the north coast. The 82 and 76 coast road from Akureyri to Hofsós is probably my favourite road in Iceland (so far). They only used Seyðisfjörður for filming the arrival of the ship.
Im one of the staff onboard norrona im so glad that you had a very good experience onboard, thank you so much for the very good review and fantastic video..
Just sat and watched the whole thing, no skipping, no pausing & doing something useful,…..& that’s the ultimate compliment you can pay any hour on RUclips, Steve! 👊💥
The best thing about Steves videos is that he doesn't drown out everything with funky music. You can hear the sights and sounds of where he is and hes not afraid to allow long silences on his videos. It makes you feel like you are there.
I appreciate that Steve features trips that are within the reach, financially, of ordinary people. Not that I dislike videos featuring ultra- expensive train, plane, and ship journeys, but let's face it: these are inaccessible to most of us. This channel is a populist travelog.
Watching the Scotsman suffering for his Art; ... eating pizza, drinking beer and dipping in the swimming pool. Always nice to see you enjoy travelling on a budget I can relate to. :)
Just thought you should know, that Smyril have just shared this video with their mailing list! Just got an email with your face in it, and the link!!!😊😊😊
I'm a 49 year old Icelander. I've known about this ship pretty much all my life, watched the ship being replaced a couple of times etc. but I have never used it for my trips across the Atlantic. but, now I actually want to as you have made the perfect marketing video for this company! Wow, just wow! If Smyril-line didn't give you a freebie on this trip, they definitely should in the future. The worth of your work there would cost them probably 10 times what you paid for your journey.
This is what U-Tube is all about, once in a while it through's up a gem of a film much hard work went into it's content but the end result is great . Thank's Steve.
you did it MR MARSH. scott manson did 2 nights on a bus which was one entertaining journey. now its time for a ferry adventure. long live the scottish heavyweights edit: thanks for 30 likes. have a blessed saturday everyone
Just stumbled on this video whilst browsing RUclips. I’m retiring in 20 months and never thought a ferry ride to Iceland would make it to my bucket list, but here I am!!!

I’m Australian. I can’t tell you how exciting it was for me to watch this. I’d love to visit the north of Scotland and those islands. I feel my heart lies there. Maybe that’s why I like the cold and not our hot humid summers. Awesome ship!
Steve, I just want to echo some of the comments of other people .... I started watching this and couldn't pause or fast forward ANY of it. I've watched a number (not all) of your reviews and have been trying to pinpoint what makes them such enjoyable viewing. It goes without saying that your friendly, affable, sometimes self-deprecating delivery is an obvious winner ... but then I realised ... it's also your editing .... your reviews bounce along brilliantly ... there are no lulls, no time to lose interest .... and you have the knack of making the simplest observations really interesting. Brilliant stuff, Steve ... thank you!
I have a friend who loves to hike and I'll forward him some of Steve's hikes, and he loves them. I watch them and think, "Oh, hell no." if I showed him this, he would think "Oh, hell no." I bet this ends up on my itinerary in the next 8 years.
And, have to add, you have a marvellous voice, Steve, very friendly, very clear, and, o/c, lovely accent! - can't beat a good Scots accent. Thanks for the voyage.
I love how respectful you are about filming. Great video as always. Always appreciate how you do things within a reasonable budget unlike some RUclipsrs. Brilliant thank you
It’s the way he stays true to the budget traveller. I’ve had to stop watching a lot of you tubers as they up the anti when they get popular price you right out.
I live in the USA where I was born, but am a proud descendant of brave Scots men and women who crossed the treacherous North Atlantic nearly 400 years ago. I have just discovered your channel as a result of searching for information about this ferry. Thank you for the engaging post and I love your Scots accent. 🤗. Edit: It is a handsome ship indeed. I’m truly adding this to my “bucket” list. 👍🏼
If you are in the USA and you like this sort of trip, add the Alaska State Ferry to your bucket list.

Spectacular scenery at all times, spectacular wildlife, no glitz or commercialism.
Me too! What a voyage! The sunrise on the mountains of Iceland was epic - god knows how awe inspiring it must have been in person because it blew me away on screen!
The one thing I really love about Steve's videos is how he must give a nice boost to these routes & destinations. His genuine enthusiasm carries strongly through the screen.
Hi Steve! Excellent!!!! I have just completed two four-week trips to Iceland (I'm retired), travelling in my 20 year old VW van (not a camper!) I've now sailed this route 4 times on the Norrona, and I'm totally impressed with your film, comments and observations. I would like to add that the crew, without exception, were always friendly and polite, especially the barkeeper in the lounge, the guys and girls on reception and cabin staff, i.e. everyone! I'll be back onboard in April, this time for a six month adventure on Iceland.
Went out this afternoon and stocked up on beer and chips and have sat back watching another video from the best vlogger on RUclips, I was swept away by the scenery and the sunsets, very beautiful and I can only hope that I get to do this trip myself one day, till next time stay safe and well and cheers from Oz.
Dear Steve I totally, absolutely, positively and completely was riveted to the screen. As I'm getting a little bit of a mobility issue it is fantastic to travel along with you. Cheers & regards
I’ve just discovered this video and your channel. Thank you for your fascinating video and intelligent comments. I’m 77 years old, live in California, and this scenery does my Norwegian/Scots soul such joy. I’m eager to see all your videos.
What a wonderful cruise. Makes you think why the Vikings went sailing just by chance and managed to sail across the whole of the North Atlantic and discovering islands on the way. Marvelous, I think I’m going to do that next year, way and back. ❤
Rarely have I seen such a beautiful, friendly travel report as yours. Not a trace of snobbery, absolutely unpretentious report intended for the average consumer. The narrator's heartwarming, generally positive nature with his lovely Scottish accent (at least I assume it's a Scottish accent, right?) do the rest. Thank you very much, Mr. Marsh!
Nothing better than watching a Steve Marsh video for half an hour on Saturday morning -- other than watching one for a (nearly) full hour! Thanks for yet another great video, Steve. Great presentation of a great ship and great trip. Sitting here in the flat lands of the American Midwest, the views and how you captured the atmosphere are absolutely stunning. What a wonderful trip. Just wonderful.
One of the best, if not THE best, video from you, Steve. What a fantastic journey on that amazing ferry. With every kind of facility you could wish for. Did well in the "choppy" swimming pool! Thanks for sharing. 😊 👍
Thanks so much Steve for the stowaway trip. It's long a dream of mine to travel the North Atlantic region between Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, Scotland and its northern islands, and Norway of course where my grandparents came from , and my cousins who still reside, as I'm landlocked for a spell on Long Island doing my radiation treatments. What a beautiful ship. My Grandfather Tobias Eskeland from Mandal was first mate on a similarly beautiful steamship after emigrating to the States. He crewed between NY city and Boston back in the early 1910's till the 1940s. It's a grand tradition the North Atlantic people do so well. So you see the sea is in my blood too. I look forward to more journeys with your channel.
Steve, bumped into your channel, and I loved every bit of it. No background music- no-nonsense attitude, just plain video & beautiful scenery - wonderfully presented- loved it & watched it all to the end . Thanks for bringing this to us.
The "Bananas on a boat are bad luck" date back to the 1700's. Sailors believed it was bad luck because after a storm in which a ship carrying bananas sunk, only the bananas would be found floating on the water. Giving rise to that superstition that bananas would sink your boat. Fisherman also believed bananas would cause you not to catch fish. Sail-world has an interesting article about sailor superstitions includiing bananas, red heads and fridays.
Another martitime banana theory I heard was that a bunch rippens at the same time and don't last long, so sailors would find that they had no bananas to eat followed by having to eat all the bananas quickly before they went bad.
Wow what a great show you give us sad that you take all you can get free and don't pay a bit of what's on offer so you get everything you can get cheap.well if everyone else did the same then maybe god would help you cheapscapes and sad youake a great video but what help and advice you send out yeah you send advice to get what you can and
Sad you tell people how to get around paying And then when the company is struggling of passengers like you that don't want to pay .but grab anything free .sad .but me and lots of other people pay that's fair .but we do see people like you scaving
Who could’ve prepared us for all this wonderful-ness?! The sky, the land, and the ferry did not disappoint. So happy to experience this through your eyes. ❤ Many, many thanks. ☺️
Steve. I saved this for when I had time to relax observe and listen . All I can say is you are a well blessed talent (of course it's a shame your lovely lady was not with you.) You both deserve an award for brightening people's lives and widening their horizons. God bless you both. Thank you x
Loving the Isle of Eigg hat x We got married there in 2003 and stayed at Sandavore Bothy when it was no electricity and gas mantles x We were married in the kitchen of the island registrar. Beautiful island and love the Shearwater. We always holiday in Scotland and consider it our happy place forever. Great video as usual 😆
nothing beats a huge feast on a ship, the ocean air, vast spreads of dishes and styles and gallons of ales, oh to be a Grasshopper again, top vid champ.
Perfect start to the day, this channel has been my ultimate find of the last month, can’t get enough of your positive attitude, your smiles and the beautiful trips you go on - much love from Germany!
Steve Marsh deserves every view he gets. You can see the effort he goes to in this video, out in the cold ensuring those winds where many RUclipsrs would just sit in their cabin or the bar throughout. Great job Steve 👍
This was absolutely one of your best, Steve! Somehow you manage to capture both the grand and the ordinary, finding interesting shots to capture both. And your appreciation and gratitude just shine through the commentary. The Norrona used to call at Lerwick, Shetland on its way between the Faroes and Denmark, so I took it from Torshavn to Lerwick back in 2006. I'm a Scot who's lived far away from home for decades, and I was almost in tears when you passed by Unst and Muckle Flugga. Thank you!
WOW! This is the best video of this type I've ever seen! Hands down, the best! I completely enjoyed the entire voyage. Just a fantastic job for an excellent topic. WOW again! Thanks!
I live a world away from all of this, west coast U.S. sitting on the couch on a Sunday morning with my wife dreaming of how we would do this trip. Fly to Iceland, two nights stay, then ferry to Denmark. I could never do a blog as well as this, just so good. Thank you so much.
Like all your ferry videos, I just love the joy of the journey that comes through. I was in Japan when you filmed this, and was on a number of ferries and thought of you as I spent every moment of each out in the fresh air, in the heat and the rain.
Other than your Scotland videos, your best yet Steve. My partner is Icelandic, my son is half Icelandic, half scottish so I can’t wait to see you in Iceland again.
That is one awesome video from one awsome ship. Great job, Mr Marsh! Smyril-Line should see this! Best advertising they ever had! Being Danish I’m sad to say I did not know of this ship, but right now wife and I decided to go next Summer.
As an Anglo/Scot (late mother from Elgin), your clarity of language made this post so enjoyable. I'm seventy-two; so getting to the northern tip of Denmark may pose a problem: but I would love to undertake this journey! Thank you so much fo posting.
Good to hear ‘The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald’ playing in the ship’s bar - although it might be a bit disconcerting for nervous passengers on a stormy night! I did the old Bergen-Seydisfjordur ferry trip in 1988. The world’s changed a lot since then but the Faroes and Iceland still look just as beautiful. Great video, thanks Steve.
Nice video,, as an Icelander ,, me and my wife have done many trips with the ferry,, we adore this kind of traveling, our destination is always the same, down to Nürburgring. i honestly think this is the first time i have seen a full video with such detailed information, thank you for your effort
Thank you, Steve! I was somewhere in the 40th minute when I realized the video was not about to end! 😊 It is so relaxed, so flowing, seemingly unscripted - yet there was a lot of effort involved. Thanks. Greetings from St.Petersburg, Russia!!!
You are so enthusiastic. I loved your reaction to the automatic window water. Looks like a great ferry ride. Approaching Iceland by the sea is unbelievable. Such an incredible place!! Thanks for another great video. You NEVER disappoint!!!
The Norröna is a magnificent vessel and well done Smyril Line. That was impessive Steve, the way you filmed your swim in the pool, without dunking your GoPro. 👍
One of your best videos, just brilliant, thank you for taking us along with you 👍💙

I grew up just 25 minute drive from Hirtshals (now live in Texas) and I wasn’t aware that this route is available from Hirtshals. Definitely something I want to check out next time I’m back in Denmark. Thank you for sharing!
Och, to the whingers and penny pinchers on here! Will yous no stop yer greetin' and just enjoy a brilliant video by a great guy, eh! Cheers now. 🤫😬😁🙋👍🇮🇪🏴
Steve, you are spot on concerning the choice of itinerary by the Smyril Line captains. When I was on board they chose a route smack through the Shetlands because the weather was so good. And my! Was that beautiful, I couldn't have imagined it like this.
Such a pleasant guy. My wife, our young daughters and I are Norwegian. My father has a fish processing plant in Hirtshals. We love Iceland but always fly there. The boat looks really nice. We’re both due to give birth in about 7 weeks but we’ll be sure to take this trip early in the New Year, hopefully with some close friends. Enjoyable video ~ thank you. Great tip about the fridge pack by the way.
*New Subscriber.* _A 60 year old Canadian whose family came here from Orkney Islands in Scotland 200 years ago._ *Awesome content. Binge watching all the wee videos now lol*
I was so excited after last week's video that I read ahead and watched other videos of this journey. Yours is by far the best and infused with such joy! I loved your excitement at seeing the far north of Scotland. Seriously talking to my husband about doing this trip as part of a trans-Atlantic crossing. Thank you!
This was an absolutely wonderful watch. It feels like the jewel in the Marsh crown to date! So many highlights, including that first mystical/foggy sunset on deck, navigating the departure from Torshavn, and of course the early morning approach to Iceland. Many thanks for taking us with you!
Another great trip from Steve 'I won't get lost' Marsh, this is a classic showing us someone no others have. Looking forward to the rest of the trip. Keep up the good work!
New Subscriber. Outstanding sir. I love your commentary, thoughtfulness, and open minded approach to visiting new and exciting places. One sign of a great video is that you lose track of time . Every second of the video I felt like I was with you on this adventure. Thank you for all of your time put in to record, edit, and share with all of us. You are without question the type of person I would want as a best friend. Thanks for making our world view a little clearer and brighter.

Hello Sir, I’m working in this ship. Thank you so much for making this video and for giving a nice review. On behalf of all the crew and staff I would like to extend my gratitude for appreciating our full efforts and dedication to give our passengers a good experience on board. We’re looking forward to seeing you again on board Norröna.😊
It's a beautiful, well-run ship. You have every right to be proud.
Just came across your channel.. What an awesome experience to share
🙏🇬🇧
It's a beautiful ship. Denmark isn't cheap, but I thought a fully stocked cabin fridge for 21 € was very good value and very reasonable.
wonderful. bless you elana.
Thank you for caring about the experience. I didn't know about the ship before, but now I want to go to Iceland by ferry!
Dear Steve,

Good luck to you Graham.
You have unlocked a completely new travel goal that I never knew existed!
If you like interesting ferry rides, try the Alaska State Ferry, pretty much any route. But the route that feels most like a cruise is from Bellingham to Juneau, Skagway, or Haines (or the reverse). Fly to one terminus, take the ferry for about 3 days, fly home from the other terminus. Spectacular scenery, spectacular wildlife, no glitz or commercialism.
@@MyFiddlePlayer
What's the chance? I was coming here to write the exact same damn thing
Unbelievable, highly recommend this. I went the other way with a car from skagway to Bellingham.
And unlike a cruise ship. You can jump off and check out a little town for a couple days until the next ferry comes through
Me as well!
This ship used to stop off at Scrabster (far north of mainland Scotland) on its way to Iceland. About 20 years ago I packed my tent on my bicycle and headed to the highland port.

They only used Seyðisfjörður for filming the arrival of the ship.
What a wonderful adventure that must have been.
Showing us around everywhere - all I'd want to see if I was young and vigorous again.

Thanks for the trip!

@@heavydecibel Me too, just fabulous !
Thanks so much!!!
@@steve-marsh I’ll get you a pint & a dram on Islay. 😁
Glad I'm not the only one! But I might have done a skip back rewind or two! 🤣

That's what I like, no music cos videos on RUclips with loadsa music just makes me wanna fast forward
I love the sound of the wind. I live on an island and I I’ve walked many a ferry deck on a windy day.
@olivemd oh yes the noises make it real for me
He used to use music fill and chose to discontinue that practice. Thank you, Steve.

Watching Steve Marsh Show is better than any TV 😁😊👍
You ain't lying.

Absolutely!

Watching the Scotsman suffering for his Art; ... eating pizza, drinking beer and dipping in the swimming pool.
Always nice to see you enjoy travelling on a budget I can relate to.

Just thought you should know, that Smyril have just shared this video with their mailing list! Just got an email with your face in it, and the link!!!😊😊😊
Playing the wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald on a ferry crossing some treacherous waters is a touch of class. Awesome trip.
Noted that as well. I was like "wait, I recognize that opening.".
Me too. Although, following up with Every Time You Go was great! Quite appropriate for a solo trip
I heard that too.
LOL yeah I caught that too. I don't think I'd be so keen to hear that tune on a ship at sea.
Someone has a deliciously bleak sense of humor.
You need to be talking to the ferry line about commission. That trip is now firmly on the bucket list!.
Agreed ...on my bucket list too ...Best video yet Steve 😊
I was thinking that exact same thing. GOD that trip looks fun.
I just received a newsletter from Smyril Line promoting his video. That's kind of a commission I guess 😉
First time viewer of your channel. Excellent; pure commentary, no clever remarks, no background music. Well done 👏

Have to laugh a little about this, I don't think Iceland or the Faroes exactly need a boost. They are overwhelmed by tourists.
@@lala-ct9ir A boost is a boost. It does not imply low tourism numbers, it simply means a boost. Please stop projecting.

Surprise that's not bad luck or something. Lol
Had to come to the comments to see if anyone else noticed. That's the last song you want to be thinking about on a ship 😂
I heard that too...almost as strange as the Titanic lecture I attended on one cruise😂
@@tartanthing How did I miss that? Big Gordon L fan too! Need to watch it again now! 😂👍🎶⛴️
I thought I heard it!!! Glad others did, too.
What a wonderful cruise. Makes you think why the Vikings went sailing just by chance and managed to sail across the whole of the North Atlantic and discovering islands on the way. Marvelous, I think I’m going to do that next year, way and back. ❤
Rarely have I seen such a beautiful, friendly travel report as yours.
Not a trace of snobbery, absolutely unpretentious report intended for the average consumer.
The narrator's heartwarming, generally positive nature with his lovely Scottish accent (at least I assume it's a Scottish accent, right?) do the rest.
Thank you very much, Mr. Marsh!
Nothing better than watching a Steve Marsh video for half an hour on Saturday morning -- other than watching one for a (nearly) full hour! Thanks for yet another great video, Steve. Great presentation of a great ship and great trip. Sitting here in the flat lands of the American Midwest, the views and how you captured the atmosphere are absolutely stunning. What a wonderful trip. Just wonderful.
Cheers Bob!
@@steve-marsh yes steve great video then mate
One of the best, if not THE best, video from you, Steve. What a fantastic journey on that amazing ferry. With every kind of facility you could wish for. Did well in the "choppy" swimming pool! Thanks for sharing. 😊 👍
Thanks so much Steve for the stowaway trip. It's long a dream of mine to travel the North Atlantic region between Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, Scotland and its northern islands, and Norway of course where my grandparents came from , and my cousins who still reside, as I'm landlocked for a spell on Long Island doing my radiation treatments. What a beautiful ship. My Grandfather Tobias Eskeland from Mandal was first mate on a similarly beautiful steamship after emigrating to the States. He crewed between NY city and Boston back in the early 1910's till the 1940s. It's a grand tradition the North Atlantic people do so well. So you see the sea is in my blood too. I look forward to more journeys with your channel.
This one goes into the record book. Just breathtaking
Definitely one of the best Ferry Videos I've ever watched - Not to mention a fantastic Ship! Thank you!! 🙏
Steve, bumped into your channel, and I loved every bit of it. No background music- no-nonsense attitude, just plain video & beautiful scenery - wonderfully presented- loved it & watched it all to the end . Thanks for bringing this to us.
Your enthusiasm for ferries is infectious 😀 What an epic journey!
ferries plural ? It's his first time 😂😂😂😂😂 !
Another spectacular voyage. Thanks for taking all of us with you!
I have just received an email from Smyril Line recommending this video. It is a perfect circle!
Thank you Steve. The best episode ever. I am from Denmark, and I would love to travel to Iceland with this ferry.
The "Bananas on a boat are bad luck" date back to the 1700's. Sailors believed it was bad luck because after a storm in which a ship carrying bananas sunk, only the bananas would be found floating on the water. Giving rise to that superstition that bananas would sink your boat. Fisherman also believed bananas would cause you not to catch fish. Sail-world has an interesting article about sailor superstitions includiing bananas, red heads and fridays.
Another martitime banana theory I heard was that a bunch rippens at the same time and don't last long, so sailors would find that they had no bananas to eat followed by having to eat all the bananas quickly before they went bad.
Sounds like a load of bananas 😂
Must be the same sailors that stated you do not allow women wearing green knickers on a fishing trip boat....?
The sunset looked otherworldly. Hypnotic was exactly the right word.
Looks a little bit like a William Turner painting
Oh yes! Wasn't it beautiful! 🙋
Wow what a great show you give us sad that you take all you can get free and don't pay a bit of what's on offer so you get everything you can get cheap.well if everyone else did the same then maybe god would help you cheapscapes and sad youake a great video but what help and advice you send out yeah you send advice to get what you can and
Sad you tell people how to get around paying
And then when the company is struggling of passengers like you that don't want to pay .but grab anything free .sad .but me and lots of other people pay that's fair .but we do see people like you scaving
@@creepermk Exactly what I was thinking! Truly Turner-esque.
Who could’ve prepared us for all this wonderful-ness?! The sky, the land, and the ferry did not disappoint. So happy to experience this through your eyes. ❤ Many, many thanks. ☺️
Steve. I saved this for when I had time to relax observe and listen . All I can say is you are a well blessed talent (of course it's a shame your lovely lady was not with you.) You both deserve an award for brightening people's lives and widening their horizons. God bless you both. Thank you x
Steve the footage past Kalsoy was magical, utterly enchanting. Well done mate.
Only one word will cover this, Steve - Excellent. Thank you so much..
Finally, my favorite ferry and my favorite travel tuber combined - I’m in heaven!
That turned out to be a wonderful video so thanks from Dallas, Texas❤
Loving the Isle of Eigg hat x We got married there in 2003 and stayed at Sandavore Bothy when it was no electricity and gas mantles x We were married in the kitchen of the island registrar. Beautiful island and love the Shearwater. We always holiday in Scotland and consider it our happy place forever. Great video as usual 😆
nothing beats a huge feast on a ship, the ocean air, vast spreads of dishes and styles and gallons of ales, oh to be a Grasshopper again, top vid champ.
Perfect start to the day, this channel has been my ultimate find of the last month, can’t get enough of your positive attitude, your smiles and the beautiful trips you go on - much love from Germany!
I think I am watching too many of your videos, I am Welsh 🏴 and proud of it ,but I am now sporting a Scot’s accent 😅😅😅
Steve Marsh deserves every view he gets. You can see the effort he goes to in this video, out in the cold ensuring those winds where many RUclipsrs would just sit in their cabin or the bar throughout. Great job Steve 👍
This was absolutely one of your best, Steve! Somehow you manage to capture both the grand and the ordinary, finding interesting shots to capture both. And your appreciation and gratitude just shine through the commentary. The Norrona used to call at Lerwick, Shetland on its way between the Faroes and Denmark, so I took it from Torshavn to Lerwick back in 2006. I'm a Scot who's lived far away from home for decades, and I was almost in tears when you passed by Unst and Muckle Flugga. Thank you!
Really appreciate this!
Steve! Such a brilliant video! As always, thank you so much for taking us all along with you on your incredible adventures!
WOW! This is the best video of this type I've ever seen! Hands down, the best! I completely enjoyed the entire voyage. Just a fantastic job for an excellent topic. WOW again! Thanks!
a whole hour?! you truly bless us!
I live a world away from all of this, west coast U.S. sitting on the couch on a Sunday morning with my wife dreaming of how we would do this trip. Fly to Iceland, two nights stay, then ferry to Denmark. I could never do a blog as well as this, just so good. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the journey and tour Steve 😊
What an epic and amazing trip and the arrival through the fjords was just incredible. One of your best videos without a doubt 😊
Like all your ferry videos, I just love the joy of the journey that comes through. I was in Japan when you filmed this, and was on a number of ferries and thought of you as I spent every moment of each out in the fresh air, in the heat and the rain.
Other than your Scotland videos, your best yet Steve. My partner is Icelandic, my son is half Icelandic, half scottish so I can’t wait to see you in Iceland again.
That is one awesome video from one awsome ship. Great job, Mr Marsh! Smyril-Line should see this! Best advertising they ever had!
Being Danish I’m sad to say I did not know of this ship, but right now wife and I decided to go next Summer.
As an Anglo/Scot (late mother from Elgin), your clarity of language made this post so enjoyable. I'm seventy-two; so getting to the northern tip of Denmark may pose a problem: but I would love to undertake this journey! Thank you so much fo posting.
Absolutely fantastic.
Loved coming along. ❤️
Good to hear ‘The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald’ playing in the ship’s bar - although it might be a bit disconcerting for nervous passengers on a stormy night! I did the old Bergen-Seydisfjordur ferry trip in 1988. The world’s changed a lot since then but the Faroes and Iceland still look just as beautiful. Great video, thanks Steve.
New subscriber. I enjoyed the video very much and appreciate your sense of humor as well.
One of the best hours I've spent on RUclips ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was just thinking the very same thing during the last couple of minutes of the video. Superb!! Better than any main stream TV for sure!
That was an amazing trip, the sight of the Faroes and Iceland by dawn are a photographers dream. and just memories you'll never forget.
Nice video,, as an Icelander ,, me and my wife have done many trips with the ferry,, we adore this kind of traveling, our destination is always the same, down to Nürburgring.
i honestly think this is the first time i have seen a full video with such detailed information, thank you for your effort
Excellent way to spend the extra hour we get this weekend!
Thank you, Steve! I was somewhere in the 40th minute when I realized the video was not about to end! 😊 It is so relaxed, so flowing, seemingly unscripted - yet there was a lot of effort involved. Thanks. Greetings from St.Petersburg, Russia!!!
Thanks so much!
@@steve-marshyou are welcome!! Keep up the good work.
How old are you and how much younger are you than Scott from "Planes, trains..."? 😁😁😁
@@steve-marsh nice one m8
That is my dream cruise!!
Great video Steve. What an adventure! Thanks for taking us along. That arrival into Iceland looked like pure magic.
You are so enthusiastic. I loved your reaction to the automatic window water. Looks like a great ferry ride.
Approaching Iceland by the sea is unbelievable. Such an incredible place!! Thanks for another great video. You NEVER disappoint!!!
The Norröna is a magnificent vessel and well done Smyril Line. That was impessive Steve, the way you filmed your swim in the pool, without dunking your GoPro. 👍
Wow! More like a cruise ship than a ferry!
Brilliant, Steve. Thanks for taking us along for the ride
Waited all week for this. This channel is a one man bucket list!
Always impressed how you seem to walk everywhere Steve. Good for you.
Excellent video Steve! Your relaxed and engaging style is so enjoyable to watch and you really feel you are in the journey too. Thanks
One of your best videos, just brilliant, thank you for taking us along with you 👍💙
I grew up just 25 minute drive from Hirtshals (now live in Texas) and I wasn’t aware that this route is available from Hirtshals. Definitely something I want to check out next time I’m back in Denmark. Thank you for sharing!
Och, to the whingers and penny pinchers on here! Will yous no stop yer greetin' and just enjoy a brilliant video by a great guy, eh! Cheers now. 🤫😬😁🙋👍🇮🇪🏴
Some waste of money and more importantly time, place is a Dump
Your channel is better than Netflix, many thanks for another superb video Steve!😊😊
It is spelled Notflix😂
I too am not sure how I got to this channel, but what a lovely experience-need to extend my plans visiting Denmark and head back to Iceland this way!!
Beautiful sunrise on arrival at Iceland…such a beautiful ferry with so many amenities
Steve, you are spot on concerning the choice of itinerary by the Smyril Line captains. When I was on board they chose a route smack through the Shetlands because the weather was so good. And my! Was that beautiful, I couldn't have imagined it like this.
Such a pleasant guy. My wife, our young daughters and I are Norwegian. My father has a fish processing plant in Hirtshals. We love Iceland but always fly there. The boat looks really nice. We’re both due to give birth in about 7 weeks but we’ll be sure to take this trip early in the New Year, hopefully with some close friends. Enjoyable video ~ thank you. Great tip about the fridge pack by the way.

*Awesome content. Binge watching all the wee videos now lol*
I was so excited after last week's video that I read ahead and watched other videos of this journey. Yours is by far the best and infused with such joy! I loved your excitement at seeing the far north of Scotland. Seriously talking to my husband about doing this trip as part of a trans-Atlantic crossing. Thank you!
This was an absolutely wonderful watch. It feels like the jewel in the Marsh crown to date! So many highlights, including that first mystical/foggy sunset on deck, navigating the departure from Torshavn, and of course the early morning approach to Iceland. Many thanks for taking us with you!
The buildings on Faroe are Beautiful ✊🏼
Thank you! You've taken me on one of my wish list journeys and helped me see it in a positive light. its always great journeying with you!
Another great trip from Steve 'I won't get lost' Marsh, this is a classic showing us someone no others have.
Looking forward to the rest of the trip.
Keep up the good work!
New Subscriber. Outstanding sir. I love your commentary, thoughtfulness, and open minded approach to visiting new and exciting places. One sign of a great video is that you lose track of time . Every second of the video I felt like I was with you on this adventure. Thank you for all of your time put in to record, edit, and share with all of us. You are without question the type of person I would want as a best friend. Thanks for making our world view a little clearer and brighter.
Couldn't have said it better, Greg! That's why I follow him for a long time already😊
A hour long Steve Marsh video! Count me in!!!! 😀😀😀
Had to interpret 'taps aff' for hubby lol and he was so disappointed to see it wasn't ladies when he did a rewind. Great video, Steve. Many thanks.
🤣
