It Took Me 2 Days To Find My Dream Ferry. A Travel Day(s) Video, Destination: Hirtshals, Denmark…

I have ALWAYS wanted to experience the ferry from Denmark to Iceland. But there's a reason (or should I say two reasons) it's taken me so long to do it. And those reasons are the departure and arrival points. This is the first part of a dream voyage, but it's not easy being a ferry foot passenger...

I don’t pretend to be a travel expert, but I love what I do and would be honoured if you came along with me. My channel focusses on the wide-eyed wonder and excitement of finding somewhere new, and my genuine reaction to it. You may not get a history lesson in my videos, but who knows, you might pick up some useful travel tips along the way, add a few destinations to your bucket list and hopefully be entertained by what you see. Thanks for watching, it means a lot to me :)
I do ALL of this myself. Planning, filming, editing, promoting, all with a weekly upload schedule, so please understand not every video will be an epic adventure. But my pledge is to always do my best in any situation and KEEP THE CAMERA ROLLING :)

FAQs:
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
I was born in Glasgow but have lived in Carnoustie, Dalgety Bay, Stonehaven, Edinburgh, Montrose, and further afield (Salamanca, Spain & Devonport, New Zealand)
WHEN DO YOU UPLOAD?
Saturdays at 10am Scottish time. Occasionally a bonus midweek video will pop up (in which case, likely to be Tuesday at 5pm)
WHY IS THERE A DELAY BETWEEN TRIP AND VIDEO APPEARING?
This is both my business model and a result of doing everything myself. Editing takes time and I also like to schedule videos a bit in advance in case of any problems/illness/cancellations etc. Keeping my uploads appearing every Saturday is important to me, so I don’t want anything to get in the way of it. Also, I occasionally need some time off to recover from trips! But more than anything else, it's about budgets. I generally need to film a number of videos on each trip to break even. And each one of these take a while to fall into place on a Saturday morning.
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
I film with a GoPro11 and my iPhone12. I edit on iMovie and use epidemicsound.com for music. I also use canva.com for thumbnails etc. I also have a DJI Pocket 3 (bigger sensor) for nighttime, although I’m still getting to grips with it.
WHY DON'T YOU SPEND LONGER AT DESTINATIONS?
The usual suspects I'm afraid - time and money! Hotel prices especially these days make my eyes water like a true Scotsman. Also my weekly upload schedule means I need to keep on the move.
WHERE'S ALICJA?
Alicja will feature whenever possible, but she has her own life and a 9-5 job so it can take a while for our schedules to match up. Trust me though, I prefer it when She is there too!
DO YOU PAY FOR YOUR OWN TRAVEL?
Yes I do. I've only ever accepted a complementary ticket as compensation for a previous problem. All my opinions are frank and honest reflections of travel as I experience it.
WHY THE ADS?
It's my income, I can't do this for free. Notice I don’t have mid-roll ads though!
CAN I CONTACT YOU?
I used to list my email address but felt bad not having the capacity to respond to everything so took it down (and I got a LOT of spam so missed many genuine messages along the way).
HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE CHANNEL?
Watching my videos is of course support enough, but if you'd like to support further, I'll pop links in here for Paypal and Patreon. All kind donations are super-appreciated and will go 100% towards future filming trips.
DO YOU ACCEPT SPONSORSHIPS?
I don't like to upset the flow of my videos, so I don't even include mid-roll ads anymore (at significant loss of income to myself), so I prefer not to include sponsorships either. I'm open to a small slide at the start/end of each video, but I don't want to get into talking about products, it's something I don't like as a viewer myself (especially as a viewer who pays for KZbin Premium). So it's probably a polite no, although all of this goes out the window if you offer me something which can give me the chance to make a video for my audience that would otherwise be impossible.

It's 6 months since our household ditched our UK tv licence. This was the first YT channel we subscribed to and we still love it. More interesting than anything on terrestrial channels. Quality every time. Thanks Steve and Alicja.

That outdated system is still in place? Yikes. I can't believe you need license to watch broadcast TV as well.

I do the same, just watch KZbin videos now, Steve here, McMaster, etc, hate the Beeb and their state propaganda, but scared get a knock at the door saying I watch telly?

[@derektaylor2941]

@@jogolock1190 please don't buy a licence just out of fear as there really is no need. Look up a channel here named 'Chili Jon Carne' and his other channel 'TV Licence Stop'. If you aren't watching live broadcast or downloading iplayer you do not need a licence. Would you buy road tax for a car you didn't own just out of fear of DVLA? No. You don't need to give any reason to cancel your tv licence or to not renew it. If they ask you for a declaration of why you're not buying one then you have no obligation to reply. None at all, no matter how much they promise to not bother you. In truth you'll get a letter threatening you every few months, which can be filed in the B1N; these are generic fines and will start 'Dear Occupier..... We are now proceeding with our latest threat...' Really? They don't even know your name and yet are issuing legal threats. There is no such thing as a TV detector van, no matter what you might believe, think you've seen or have heard from others. In the vanishingly likely chance that a tv licensing bod comes to your door, you simply say "No thank you. Goodbye." Don't be rude, just don't speak to them. Don't sign anything no matter what they ask and don't get into a conversation with them. Just a simple "No thank you, Goodbye." They aren't "officers" as they are described, just licence salesmen/women and if they try the old "interviewed under caution" then forget it. ANYONE can interview ANYONE under caution- all it means is "I am going to ask you questions and I have told you I am making notes." Oh and if anyone asks to come into your house to check you're not watching- tell them no. They aren't police, they aren't bailiffs and they have no rights. As for Court orders... last year they got THREE Court orders to enter properties and they were all, so I believe, business premises.... Three out of say 30 million recognised home and business addresses? I think you're safe. They could only get a Court order if they had sufficient evidence to present to a Court that you were watching live tv- which you're not. Please don't be intimidated by these people, nor by the vile bbc. In ditching the tv licence, you are not only saving yourself some money but making it harder for the- quite frankly- dangerously out of control bbc to carry on funding p**0**iles, running our Country down and otherwise being a force for worse. You will find you are part of a group of people 100,000s strong and growing. I've read as many as 20% of tv licence payers of 1990s are no longer paying; some of those will be cheating the system, true, but most not.

Tivoli is well worth it. It’s more of a garden than a theme park. The rides are a big attraction, but there’s a whole lot of dining and shows in there to enjoy. It costs just to visit the garden, but with many options for passes with rides, including day and annual tickets. It’s my favourite childhood day out when I visited Danish grandparents in the 80s and 90s.

Looking forward now to the next video of that actual ship journey.

[@perchristensen8962]

Hi Steve, greetings from Denmark. Great video as always, nice to see you for once on my home soil😊. I live in Frederikshavn, about an hours drive north of Aalborg, and I don't blame for not being a big fan of Copenhagen, nor am I, it has some interesting places for sure, but way to stressful. And you answered my "wasn't it possible to take a direct flight to Aalborg Airport? Or was it just to expensive?" question in the video😂 OH, bye the way, the difference between Lidl and Føtex, is that Føtex is way more expensive😊, and Jomfru Ane gade is an almost legendary party street in Denmark, so rookie mistake booking that hotel😂🥳 Please come back for another visit, and not necessarily just Copenhagen. We have much more to offer than that, especially northern part of Jutland😁

[@derektaylor2941]

Denmark is a wonderful Country. I used to drive Eurolines coaches and Denmark was always one of my favourite destinations. Copenhagen is like any capital city- it has good and bad points. I am not an expert in your Country by any means, but I've never met a Dane that I did not like. Crossing back down from Sweden into Denmark (a regular trip for me) I always felt more comfortable when back on Danish soil. Above all you gave us the World's best lager- probably. And as an amateur historian, I know Britain owes Denmark a great debt of gratitude for help it gave our Military during WW2.

[@Senteri]

We went to Denmark last year and stayed for half the journey in Copenhagen from where we took a daytrip to Malmö in Sweden, a daytrip to Helsingor then we changed locations to Odense. From there we took a daytrip to Legoland and a trip to Ribe as well. Afterwards we went home by train back to the Netherlands.

[@richardstreet7518]

Reminding me of the days when the Smyrill line stopped off in Lerwick , Shetland on the way to and from Faroes and Iceland. If my memory is correct they also used to operate a service from Scrabster to Bergen...😢

[@creativian68]

Now that UK is no longer in the EU Smyrill and other companies like that should start stopping at a UK port again in order to be able to sell tax free stuff on board. Tax free shopping was the THING which atttracted a lot of passengers to the ferries between Finland and Sweden back in the days. The ferries now stop at Åland, a demilitarized and "de-EU-fied" zone in Finland, but unfortunately tax free prices aren't very low anymore.

[@ChristofferETJ]

Copenhagen Bus Terminal is a brand new facility. With the problems that come with brand new facilities. Dybbølsbro rail station is closer than the central station, but you'd have to transfer when going from the airport. I'd choose to walk from the central station, unless I had a lot of luggage. Congratulations on finding the most notorious party street in Denmark. Jomfru Ane Gade. No Dane would choose a hotel there for a night's rest. Perhaps a day's rest, after a night's partying. North Jutland is indeed an island. At present. From about the year 1100, until 1825, it was a peninsula. And it's not separated from the mainland at the same place as in 1825.

I went to the Tivoli gardens back in 1981. The most surprising thing there was the nightly (10:00 pm) firework display when in England we only saw fireworks on the 5th of November, and the weekend nearest to it . There were no New Year fireworks in those days at home.

[@edwardlees4585]

Looks like a successful start to a new adventure, Steve. Copenhagen is my favourite airport as it's so airy and simple to navigate. I went to Tivoli back in 1997 and we bumped into Brigitte Neilson and her children who were being filmed by TV cameras for some report or other. It's called Flixbus because I believe that's the sign the driver makes with his middle finger as he sets off past those passengers who have been waiting in the wrong place. Looking forward to next week.

I was hoping you would do this ferry one day, my dad used to visit Iceland a lot when he was younger but now he can't fly due to an ear problem, so the ferry is his only option. Of course just getting to Hirtshals from the UK without flying will be a journey in and of itself

Great video Steve. As a Sassenach living in Denmark for 47 years I felt at ease with a lot of what you said. I've lived in both the West and the East of my new homeland. In the 70s, I used to arrive at CPH central station on the train from Esbjerg, having crossed by sea from Harwich, and have loved it ever since! You were lucky to get a Polish Flixbus. The cardboard thrones sold for Queen Lizz's coronation in 1953 were likely more comfortable on the Flixbuses I traveled on from Copenhagen to Aalborg and back in July '24 to play samba at Aalborg's last international carnival. You get used to cleanliness living in DK, but is Not All flat! Entrance to Tivoli is very expensive, but does boast 100% real flowers throughout. Bakken, north of Copers on the edge of the Royal Deer Park has the best roller coaster - already mentioned by others here - and it's free to visit. Both, however, do charge for their amusements and sell so-called tour passes for all or some.

The train station is beautiful. I imagine that the ceiling design is inspired by shipbuilding, although I've seen those types or beams in Edinburgh and Stirling Castle. Regarding late coaches; we took a coach bus from Inverness to Ft William and we were delayed three hours because a tour bus tried to turn into the steep driveway to The Clansman Hotel and got stuck crossways of the road. We had to sit and wait till a tow truck came to get them unstuck.

[@tinalarsen6059]

Hi Steve, yes you could I'm sure of it afford to fly to Aalborg. You can take a Ryanair flight from London Stanstead direct to Aalborg. It takes 1 hour and 40 min. I have done that many times. I'm Tina from Aalborg, I am a huge fan of yours and I love especially your videos from Edinburgh. I am Danish born and bread in January 1965. I have lived and worked in Edinburgh as a waitress in 2 different hotels in your capital in 1998 and 1999. I went to London a week before my 17 th birthday in 1982 to work for the first time. I have lived and worked in Llandudno, North Wales and Portrush Northern Ireland as well always as a waitress. I love the UK and I have been to a lot of different parts of the UK and I have been to The Republic of Ireland as well. It was so fun to see you walking around in my hometown. Jomfru Ane Gade Street where your hotel was is the most famous Street in Denmark for the nightlife. I think it's rubbish these days but when my dad started working there in the 1960 and 1970 ties it was probably great. Much nicer than nowadays. I hung out there in the 80 ties, my favourite disco was where your hotel is and my dad used to work as a manager and waiter in different parts of the street. I so wish I could have met you in Aalborg and had an autograph and a photo. My favourite vidoes of yours are the ones from The water of Leith and Leith itself you are walking with your Polish girlfriend all the way to Balerno I think. I walked from Canonmills to Colinton and I arrived there at 9 o'clock at night and it was dark so I just stopped there and went for a Pub evening meal and saw Colinton. I love Edinburgh. and oh yes I lived and worked in Pilton next to Muirhouse and Marine Drive I was working in a hotel there in 1998 The Quality Commodore Hotel it's a hostel now. I also worked at Hilton Hotel close to Dean Willage and Stockbridge. I also love Cramond and South Queensferry. Thank you for a nice video. tina😀p.s. I sometimes take the train from Aalborg to Hirtshals. I like Hirtshals and you certainly picked a nice day for it. There has been some work on the railways in the North of Denmark from Aalborg to Hjørring for the past 6 months that's why there are train buses as a replacement I thought they had finished it by now though. I will see you in Scotland sometime, maybe, because I am plannnig to go travelling across the UK as I did when I was young. I have an old dog though and as long as he is still here I have to stay at home. Too old to go to a dog kennel and it's expensive too. See you.

Loving this adventure - you are really building up the tension. Thank you for taking us with you.

[@annieearle962]

It really does look like round the beach at Montrose……Scurdyness is beautiful….a great walk

[@colin.d]

Apart from the flight, that was an interesting journey, looking forward to the ferry.

[@austinmillerrr]

Pretty sure I’ve watched every single Smyril Line video ever posted on KZbin. Absolutely cannot wait to see yours!

[@steve-marsh]

Wow, thanks!

[@veesimmons2464]

I just love watching you scuttle about here and there. I live in Ohio USA and completely envy your easy modes of travel, how far, and how cheaply you can travel to interesting places.

[@thelmakessel5509]

Thank you for the trip. I will admit I get swept up in watching you. The time flies. I enjoyed the journey

[@tobiasgaust]

Great to see you in Denmark, Steve, and even in the town I live in: Hjørring. Well, you actually "followed" my life - I was born south of Copenhagen, lived half of my childhood in Hirtshals. :)

[@steve-marsh]

Brilliant :)

[@laserspewpew_7175]

Absolutely loved Copenhagen when I was there last year. Great vibe and lots of cool spots.

[@susanashcroft2674]

There is always something interesting in and calming about your videos Steve. Despite the Friday night revelries, I'm sure the hotel was serviceable and fair play they opened the breakfast buffet early. Looking forward to the ferry journey to Iceland. All the best.

[@steve-marsh]

Yeah they were very kind at the hotel :)

[@CaroleCollins-e3k]

Yes been to Tivoli Gardens. I went on the roller coaster, not my favourite, but it was quiet and they sent us round twice!!

[@jennywalsh479]

Glad you didn’t fly as we would not have seen a lot of the countryside nor the city and can’t wait to see your trip on the ferry. Once again another interesting video.

[@bdeithrick]

Top one. I might do this trip. And it is a trip

[@jr.bobdobbs]

Enjoy those in season raspberries. Always my favourite too. Reminds me of something to roll my tongue around. So delicious. Anyway, great video. Love Denmark ❤️

[@FranzBieberkopf]

Great video (as always)🙃😊 I've had misadventures on ferries, but the weirdest one was her in my hometown of Liverpool. A few years ago, the ferry from Liverpool to Dublin wouldn't take foot passengers. However if you strolled to the bus station, you could get on a London-Dublin bus that stopped in Liverpool. You have to get off the bus on the ferry, so you're a foot passenger Was that the bus company, ferry or Scouse logic in action?

[@SheilaThomson-sj7qk]

Visited Tivoli Gardens in the mid 70s during an educational school trip on The Uganda ship. It was magical and the 1st place I had chips & mayonnaise

[@yurkshirelad]

I love how many bikes there are in Denmark. Amazing.

[@callumscott6555]

sunday viewing complete keep up the great work steve

[@shelaghjackson9577]

Just watched the ferry video too. Thanks for sharing travels by public transport…..that’s what I do too! ❤🇨🇦

[@janinehawkins9565]

Good sized ferry ⛴️. Hope all as anticipated on board. Looking forward to next week Steve.

[@brycehermon5939]

An interesting start to your adventure Steve. Always enjoyable. I'm looking forward to the next leg.

[@fraeris68]

Once again, thank you for a nice travel video Steve 👍 Looking forward to the continuation 🌞

[@andrewthornegeo]

I love Denmark! I walked up that street in Aalborg in July. You're so lucky to get the chance to go to Iceland on the Norrona. It's on my list.

[@norwegianairspotter8686]

Love your videos Steve ! Every Saturday is a highlight looking forward to the videos the whole week ! Can’t wait for next week

[@syedhadi5339]

Dear Steve. A fan from New York. I always took National Express from Victoria to Finland for years . I loved it.National Express is an ironic institutions to me. I always got lost in Copenhagan. Your.work is. the best.

[@steve-marsh]

Oh you're giving me ideas! :)

[@syedhadi5339]

​@steve-marsh .love to see u take on this ODESSY. You can do it,I am 1000% sure of your toughness and grit plus New York also awaits u.

[@Kent.]

Oh... I saw "Skånetrafiken" on the ticket machines, it's the traffic authority for public transport within Skåne County in Sweden. Feels like home, i live in Skåne/Sweden and it's just 106 km by train from my hometown to Copenhagen. And you mentioned Skagen, a lovely place to visit in the summer.

[@aitdirect9527]

It had to happen Steve. 🎉🎉🎉 As an ex coach driver for NEx I can confirm coaches are often late due to a multitude of issues. Number one is normally not enough time is allocated for the picking up of passengers along the route, combined with timetables that require some Schumacher action to to.keep on time

[@itseperkele181]

Ah, that explains why a bus once tried to ran me off the road, he was doing Schumacher stuff!

[@aitdirect9527]

@@itseperkele181 unfortunately it's universal amongst the majority of bus and coach companies. They don't actually give you sufficient time to drive to time. It's either that or they flood it and you end up waiting around everywhere

[@ciaramc29]

It's because the people designing the routes and timetables are clueless to how long it actually takes. They don't drive or haven't for years. It's even worse when it's a new route a politician has asked for and it's still not designed well enough to factor in those parts.

[@itseperkele181]

@@aitdirect9527 no worries, it was a geniune accident and no harm was done. It was a miscommunication and visibility issue situation. I was driving a lorry back then, we happened to stop at the same service area and had a talk and a laugh about the situation.

[@derektaylor2941]

@@itseperkele181 that's actually good to read that outcome. We can all make mistakes, whether car, truck or self-loading-cargo (bus). When I first started in the industry (bus and coach) there was little animosity between bus/coach and HGV, but I've seen that grow over the years, which is sad when you consider that we're all driving big pieces of mechanical metal and all are capable of doing great damage if we get it wrong. ALL commercial drivers should be on the same side- ie us Vs dept for transport. As for racing around in buses- I'd have thought truck drivers were under similar pressures these days... pressure to get the last drop in even though your tacho is close to the limit, that you often get to your location on time only to be told to wait for loading/ unloading... then being stopped by the dreaded for being 1 minute over your tacho hours despite sitting in traffic for 90 minutes... Best wishes.

[@BackyardSwingset]

'by the seaside' lol, me too. and it's usually followed by "here we go again" over here as well 😜

[@chrisk9125]

Love the Scandinavian adventures ❤

[@DrMyEyes]

Looking forward to a great Ferry Video Saga. I hope it's at least one hour long (or more). Maybe even a two-part movie. Johnnie Walker and myself enjoyed the pub crawl video series. I had a retroactive buzz in arrears.

[@Marylb-g6p]

It’s been said Walt Disney based his theme park concept on Tivoli. Having been to both, I can agree!

[@davidelton9217]

Great video Steve. I've not been to Denmark for a few years but I love the place. I always wanted to do a ferry ride to Iceland. Back in the 80's I believe there was a service from Scrabster to Iceland. What a journey that would of been!

[@paulbennett8516]

Hi Steve another great video on another adventure would never of thought about a ferry from Denmark to Iceland

[@michaelXXLF]

Aalborg is a really nice place you should visit some day! They have a steel 1930's lookout tower that looks like a UFO on stilts, some art museums and a nice food court in an old factory. And the guy who built the Sydney opera house is from there!

[@voreshbo7031]

At last! Welcome to my country M8, hope you will be treated like a king 👑❤

[@NeilD_Videos]

Connections are good from Kastrup to the city centre with the train and a metro nearby. Nice city, Copenhagen. I like Copenhagen Central too. Sooo many bicycles in Copenhagen.
