Midsummer Cruise

The Ramna Stacks off Fetha Land from the top deck of MV Daggri

For the third summer running ‘Shetland nature’ are proud to be offering these pioneering and adventurous cruises onboard the Yell Sound super ferries. Last year’s sell out and highly innovative ‘Mid Simmers Dim Cruise’ gave passengers the unique experience of enjoying some of Shetlands most iconic land and sea scape’s from a totally new perspective and on the longest night of the year . This summer on our full day day cruise we will follow the same route, cruising north-west out of Yell sound past Fethaland and the Ramna Stacks and on down past The Lang Ayre behind Ronas Hill, Eshaness and round into St Magnus Bay overlooking ‘The Drongs’.

The Lang Ayre, behind Ronas Hill

At over 65m in length, and capable of carrying 130 passengers, the Daggri, and her sister ship the Dagalien, are by far the largest of the vehicle ferries which serve the outlying islands of Shetland. With plenty of viewing space up on deck and the comfort of the panoramic saloons inboard, a trip on the Daggri is the perfect way to view the Shetland coastline, and see some of the many species of bird and sea life which are abundant in Shetland during summer.

Shetland Nature will have expert guides on hand to offer narration on marine wildlife, geology, history and archaeology, and will be constantly searching for exciting wildlife viewing opportunities throughout the cruise.
