Orkney Nature Festival Cruise

Join this year’s Orkney Nature Festival Cruise on MV Hamnavoe.

Step aboard the MV Hamnavoe for cliffs teeming with seabirds and sweeping views of Scapa Flow, with tastings of local produce, a wildlife and history commentary and guides to advise.

NorthLink Ferries are delighted to announce the return of the Orkney Nature Festival Cruise on MV Hamnavoe. In previous years, this was the finale of the Orkney Nature Festival, but this year, the popular event has been deemed a superb way to kick off the week!

This is a unique opportunity to circumnavigate Hoy! Step aboard the MV Hamnavoe for cliffs teeming with seabirds and sweeping views of Scapa Flow, with tastings of local produce, a wildlife and history commentary and guides to advise.

We’ll hug the coast passing spectacular sights including Cantick Head, The Old Man of Hoy, The Berry, St John’s Head, Rackwick, Flotta and Graemsay. We’ll also be keeping an eye out for seabirds and cetaceans. Passengers are sure to enjoy a fantastic day out!
