Travel on board the iconic Faroese sailing ship Norðlýsið

“Norðlýsið” means “Northern Light” in Faroese. The ship was built during the Second World War at the Tórshavn shipyard. The material is Canadian oak.

Norðlýsið is the oldest Faroese-built sailing vessel still in existence. Originally constructed in 1945 for use in the fishing industry, it was later transformed into a majestic schooner during the 1980s by renowned Faroese artist Tróndur Patursson, who regards the ship as one of his finest artistic creations.

Norðlýsið (nor-loui-si) has become an icon for visitors and locals alike. It is the perfect way to experience the Faroe Islands from the sea.
