Vestnorden Travel Mart 2008 20 ‘Because the North Atlantic is home to us, we know it better than anyone else; we know it like the backs of our hands. We believe this qualifies us to call ourselves experts.’ These are the words of the Sales- and Marketing Manager of Smyril Line, Jákup Sverri Kass. For the last 25 years, Smyril Line has had the route between the European mainland from Denmark and Scotland – to Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Norway. We do our best to convey the feeling by working harder and knowing more about our destinations than everyone else, the absolute pleasure of the Smyril Line experience cannot be adequately described, says Jákup Sverri. Smyril Line offers both explore for yourself and tailor- made trips to our destinations. They urge people to see and experience the fantastic landscapes and glaciers of Iceland, the mystical nature of the Faroe Islands, the magnificent fjords and mountains of Norway, the tranquillity of Denmark and the legendary highlands of Scotland. Jákup Sverri states, that they encourage people to travel where they like and when they like, by using their own car to explore the North Atlantic. In addition to that Smyril Line promotes the popular one week “Viking Cruise”, during the shoulder- seasons, which also are successful.
