Rugged cliffs, rolling green fjords and shifting skies; the Faroe Islands are among the most breathtaking destinations in the North Atlantic. With over 60 years of expertise, 62°N has become the leading tour operator on the islands, crafting tailored journeys that connect visitors with both the dramatic landscapes and the Faroese way of life.

When it comes to travel, flexibility is at the heart of everything 62°N does. “Our motto is simple: everything is possible. We work closely with our guests to create exactly the experience they dream of, whether that’s a romantic getaway, a gourmet journey, a hiking trip, or a luxury VIP programme,” says Beinta Joensen, Product and Marketing manager at 62°N. From classic packages that combine flights, hotels and excursions, to bespoke itineraries built around photography, culture, gastronomy or wellness, no two trips are the same. Groups, families, corporate travellers and individuals alike can all expect the same combination of local insight and high-quality service.

The drama of the Faroes

For many, the appeal begins with the islands themselves. “The Faroes are like nowhere else. You feel close to nature’s raw power, yet you also find peace, authenticity and a very high level of comfort,” says Joensen. Guests are drawn to iconic spots such as Mykines, the bird island alive with puffins, or the dramatic waterfall of Múlafossur plunging into the Atlantic. Others fall for the quiet charm of villages like Saksun and Gjógv, or the cultural life of Tórshavn, one of the world’s smallest but most vibrant capitals.

62°N encourages visitors to balance nature’s drama with human connection. Hiking trails, boat trips and even helicopter rides can be paired with encounters in small communities, local crafts, or Faroese gastronomy that ranges from traditional fermentation to Michelin-starred dining. “It’s about depth and authenticity. The Faroes are not a mass-market destination, and that’s exactly the attraction,” Joensen explains.

62°N also designs programmes for businesses, incentive groups and conferences. Modern hotels and facilities in Tórshavn are complemented by unique venues such as historic buildings or even traditional farmhouses, blending professional organisation with unforgettable Faroese experiences. “It’s the kind of setting that creates memories together, whether that’s a dinner in Kirkjubøur or a boat trip to Drangarnir,” says Joensen.

With its unmatched network across the islands and decades of experience, 62°N continues to set the standard for Faroese travel. “Our mission is always to create authentic, meaningful journeys. We want guests to feel the Faroes in the same way we do; close to nature, close to people, and impossible to forget.”
