There’s exciting news for those looking to discover the increasingly popular Faroe Islands in 2024; this unique destination will soon be more accessible following Icelandair’s newest route expansion.
Starting May 2024, Icelandair will begin to offer direct flights between Reykjavik's Keflavík International Airport and the Faroes’ Vágar Airport, five to six times a week. (Canadians take note: Those wanting to experience the otherworldly beauty of this archipelago will be able to fly directly to Reykjavik from one of four Canadian cities: Toronto, Vancouver, Halifax and Montreal). From Reykjavik you can then fly Icelandair direct to the Faroe’s only airport in just under two hours. Alternatively, those with more time and a sense of adventure can cross the seas between the neighboring islands in a multi-day cruise on the Smyril Line ferry.
Famous for having more sheep than people, the Faroe Islands are an off-the-beaten-track destination made up of 18 small islands in the Northeast Atlantic. Characterized by steep cliffs, majestic mountains and stunning fjords, the Faroes has a population of only 55,000. The destination offers a welcome change of pace and the chance to commune with nature in a truly unique way. But don’t let the slow pace of life fool you, there’s lots to do and no chance that you’ll ever be bored. This breathtaking bucket-list archipelago is ideal for travellers of all ages and travel goals.
What To Do in the Faroes?
Icelandair passengers can make the most of the airline’s renown stopover program to create a 2-in-1 vacation by adding a visit to Iceland of up to as long as one week to their existing Icelandair flight, at no additional cost.
Icelandair is now offering flights from Canada to the Faroe Islands via Iceland, with prices starting as low as $757 Canadian. You can find the latest flight information, as well as frequently asked questions about the Faroe Islands and things to do, on Icelandair's website.

Nothing says summer quite like a cold adult beverage on a breezy rooftop—and the capital of Nova Scotia does rooftop drinking and dining extremely well.

Nestled in the North Atlantic between Scotland, Norway, and Iceland, the Faroe Islands are packed with dramatic cliffs, slender waterfalls, and natural landscapes that have attracted filmmakers from far and wide.
It might be surprising but Nova Scotia is one of the only destinations in Canada with its own wine appellation. Tidal Bay—a briny and refreshing white wine blend—has become one of the distinct flavors of the East Coast of Canada, not unlike lobster rolls or donairs, and although it’s easy to find a bottle of the stuff in most liquor stores in the province, tasting Tidal Bay straight from the source is way more fun.
