Cruise Oyndarfjørður
An exclusive destination for expedition ships
The Port of Runavík offers an exclusive tender option for expedition ships to the small village Oyndarfjørður on the northeast coast of Eysturoy. Oyndarfjørður is part of the Municipality of Runavík.
During the past few years the Port of Runavík has, together with Visit Runavík, developed a sustainable product for smaller expedition ships in cooperation with local inhabitants. There are only 133 people living in Oyndarfjørður and they are happy to welcome cruise passengers. The maximum number of allowed calls is three ships per year.
Cruise lines that are interested in calling Oyndarfjørður need to inform their agents in the Faroe Islands as soon as possible due to a regulation in the Faroes where all small ports, such as Oyndarfjørður, have to apply for approval from the government authorities before receiving tender boats from foreign ships.
Support the local community
