Going on the overnight ferry from Shetland to Aberdeen (UK)

Hi all!

It has been a while since I put anything on YouTube, a lot of things got in the way, mainly laziness and catching covid.

While I was in Scotland last year I had the opportunity to take an overnight ferry with a friend for the very first time. The ferry journey in this video is actually my second overnight ferry (the first was three days ago when I went from Orkney to Shetland), but I had the chance to film my voyage on the ship as not many people in the UK, let alone the world have slept overnight on a ferry.

I must say sleeping on a ferry is not entirely comfortable, but well worth the experience. I don’t think I’ll be as good as other YouTubers who exclusively post ferry videos but it’s still a fair first attempt. There are plenty of other travel loggers who have more videos of overnight ferries from around the world. Here are two examples:

Also many thanks to my friend Damien for helping out with some of the footage, as well as accompanying me on the trip.

Note: At 3:10 the caption “That’s not our ferry, it’s the one on the right” is wrong. I got the two ferries mixed up, it’s hard to tell when you’re walking in a red tunnel with limited windows while holding a camera. Also there are two scenes at 4:20 and 9:15 that might not good for those with epilepsy as they both contain flickering lights.

So please enjoy and don’t forget to subscribe!
