On our last Holland America Norway cruise, we stopped by the lovely town of Lerwick in the Shetland Islands. We set out on our own to explore this gem. We checked out the wonderful Shetland Soap Company, who work for a good cause. We walked to The Lodberrie, Scotland’s most photographed house, along the lovely Commercial Street. Next, we explored the Shetland Museum and Archives to learn about local history. Finally, we had a wonderful lunch at Fjara Café Bar before coming back to the tender dock. Here’s our experience!

The Port Lowdown offers detailed and fun video guides for cruise ports and destinations, helping independent, budgetminded travelers save time and money. We found that many videos lack the details we needed, such as parking, restrooms, available services, and even sidewalk quality. We act as your “port scout”, providing firsthand reports on essential information that others overlook; our videos cover port terminals, independent excursions, goods, services, transportation and even ship tours. With time ticking away during your port visit, we understand the importance of sound planning to make every moment count. Let us give you the Lowdown!
