Our Inter-Island ferries operate between Orkney's mainland and thirteen beautiful island destinations.

We regret to advise that we will need to take the Hoy Head out of service, due to an ongoing engine issue that requires further repairs.

The vessel will remain in service until the 0935 arrival at Houton on Saturday 29^th November.

The 0950 departure to Lyness and Flotta has been cancelled.

The service will resume at the 1415 Houton with the Thorsvoe.

This will mean that there is reduced vehicle space on board and we would advise booking to secure space.

We have contacted customers whose bookings have been affected by the reduction in deck space.

It is expected that the repair may take up to two weeks to complete and updates will be provided as soon as they are available.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

We would like to advise that the Nordic Sea will be providing a foot passenger service to Eday Sanday and Stronsay over the winter months.

The timetable is available here or in our Kirkwall Office, and can be booked online or over the phone.

This service will run from Monday 20th October to Saturday 28th December.
