Cruise Norway’s forecast for the 2013 season is now 2224 cruise calls at Cruise Norway's 41 member ports, and more than 3 million cruise visitors. "Because we have received cancellations of around 100 calls from CIC, our figures are down from 2324 calls. But still a new record this year," Cruise Norway said in a statement.
The cruise season in Norway started in February, and this year there are only 2 months without cruise calls. In 2009 Norway had its first winter cruise, and in 2013 we had 10 winter cruises in the months of February and March - cruises in search of the Northern Lights. "We can report more than 50 cruise calls in Norway in February and March, all with overnight stays in Alta and some in Tromsø. In 2014 we expect cruise calls at Norwegian ports in all 12 months. Fred Olsen Cruise Line will visit Norway in November, December and January, as the first cruise line ever in these months."
