Faroe Islands cruise ports
The Faroe Islands are a North Atlantic archipelago with a landscape of hills, sea inlets and scattered settlements. A port call offers a particular starting point within that island geography, rather than access to every place in the group. Read the arrival notes and compare the full journey before selecting an outing away from the harbour. Weather and local operating arrangements belong in the day's planning. Distinguish a visit near your named harbour from a journey that needs organised transport and a larger allowance of time. Keep the full return journey in your plan.

Getting into town
A walkable port isn't necessarily step-free. At tender ports, the walk starts at the landing. A fare may cover only part of the journey, so check the guide for the full route.

How to read these comparisons
We only compare shuttles and public transport where walking isn't a clear yes. A bus or shuttle may cover only part of the way, or go somewhere else entirely, so check the guide for the route and what the ticket covers. Free shuttles come first. Fares are only put in order when the tickets are the same kind.
Not recorded: we haven't checked this yet, though the guide may say more. None: the guide records no such service. Not applicable: the comparison doesn't fit, either because the guide covers a route or several places, or because you can walk and a shuttle doesn't matter. Unknown fare: there's a service, but we don't have its price. Service unknown: we haven't confirmed the shuttle runs.
Times and distances run from the berth or landing to the landmark named in each guide. That isn't always the city on your itinerary. On the walking page, realistic walks come first, then conditional ones, then ports where walking isn't practical. Within each group, the shortest walks come first.
