Smyril Line is a Faroese shipping company, linking the Faroe Islands and Iceland with Denmark, Norway, and the United Kingdom (Shetland and the mainland of Scotland).
Since 1983 the company has operated a regular international passenger, car and freight service using a large, modern, multi-purpose ferry - the Norröna. The original vessel was a Swedish-built ferry formerly named Gustav Wasa (built in 1973). This was replaced by a purpose-built brand new ferry (also named Norröna) in 2003. The new Norröna was built in Lübeck, Germany.
The weekly service serves the following ports:
Until the end of the Summer 2007 timetable Smyril Line also served Lerwick in the Shetland Islands.
Smyril is the Faroese word for Merlin.
