If you are considering a trip from Aberdeen to Shetland on the Northlink and think saving on the price of a cabin is a good idea, maybe watch this video first :)

I'm a big fan of Northlink but how many hours sleep will I get on this return journey? Join me as I compare the Sleeping Pod (£18 supplement) on the way out and the cheapest option of all (£3.50 reclining seat) on the way back (although as you'll see, I don't even actually use the reclining seat on the return, there are much comfier options available onboard).

Outbound: Monday 4th Tuesday 5th July 2022
Return: Wednesday 6th Thursday 7th July 2022

The base cost of the sailing is £36 each way + accommodation.
On the dates I sailed, the accommodation costs were as follows:

Inside Cabin: £120 each way
Pod seat: £18 each way
Reclining Seat: £3.50 each way

Even if you don't plan to use a reclining seat, you must pay one of the supplements, you cannot just pay the base fare without selecting a sleeping option.
