Short answer

Yes. Smyril Line sails the ship MS Norröna from Hirtshals to Tórshavn in the Faroe Islands and to Seyðisfjörður on the east coast of Iceland. Between Denmark and Iceland there are weekly departures from mid-March to late November. Denmark–Faroe Islands is weekly, with two departures a week in the summer months. You can take a car, camper, 4x4 or motorcycle, and all passengers must be checked in at least 1 hour before departure.
