About us
ferryscotland.com is an independent information site for the ferry connections to Scotland. The site compares routes across the North Sea and the English Channel, along with the ferries to the Orkney, Shetland and Outer Hebrides islands. Several ferry operators run these routes, including DFDS, P&O Ferries, Irish Ferries, NorthLink Ferries and CalMac Ferries. The site is not published by any of these operators.
This site answers one question: which ferry connection to Scotland fits your trip? We set out the available routes, the operators that run them, the ports involved and the approximate crossing times, so you can compare your options before you book.

What this site is not
ferryscotland.com is an independent guide. We are not the official website of DFDS, P&O Ferries, Irish Ferries, NorthLink Ferries, CalMac Ferries or any other operator named on this site. We are not a Scotland travel guide: sights, hotels, flights and car rental in Scotland deliberately stay out of scope. We do not sell tickets ourselves; bookings are completed directly with the respective ferry operator, and their current prices, availability and terms apply.
