Faroe Islands, one of the destinations that has grown the most in 2017

The Faroe Islands have become one of the destinations with the highest tourist growth in the first half of 2017. This archipelago of 1400 square kilometers and 18 islands, belonging to the kingdom of Denmark, is located between the Norwegian Sea and the Atlantic Ocean between the coasts of Scotland and Iceland.

Their Nordic climate and remote geographical location have kept them isolated for a long time, however more and more cruise companies include them in their catalogs.

I will start with Cunard, and his ship Queen Victoria. The shipping company has scheduled three departures for next year, so you still have time to book. The dates are in June, July and August 2018. The crossing lasts 8, 9 and 15 days and in addition to visiting the Faroe Islands they include the Norwegian fjords, Ireland and Iceland. Its price is from 1.523 euros per person, taxes and fees included.

On 1 July 2018, a 15-day Norwegian Cruise Line cruise will depart from Hamburg, Germany, aboard the Jade. The cities of Alesund, Bergen, Lerwick, Shetland, Scotland, Reykjavik and Torshavn are visited to return in to return again to the port of Hamburg. Its price rises from 2.300 euros with full board and accommodation, but without taxes.

These are just two proposals, but if you are interested in the destination you will find some more and keep in mind that in addition to the exuberant and magnificent landscapes the Faroe Islands offer a number of activities and excursions in the open air to enjoy this decoration, and a gastronomy exquisite for lamb lovers. And a curiosity, you know that I like to tell some, the Faroese people have proposed to equip their sheep with cameras and a GPS and thus be able to appear in the Google Street View database.
