Cruise Europe

Matching cruise industry growth and cruise port capacities

Cruise Europe and its more than 100 member ports between Gibraltar in the South, Kirkenes in the North and Lulea in the Baltic still has the potential for growth. Only 75% of the potential cruise ports along the Atlantic coast are members; also one has to include the potential of the cruise ports in Greenland and the area east of the North Cape. The tourist organisations of the ports, the regions, the countries can help as members to make Cruise Europe stronger in marketing the destination Northern Europe to the cruise lines.

The aim for Cruise Europe is to match the ongoing growth of the cruise industry in offering better infrastructure in the member ports, which means more cruise terminals, or to point out the diversity of the many destinations and attractions in Northern Europe.

Cruise Europe has to open a dialogue with the cruise lines with the intention to spread the growing number of cruise ships and the even bigger cruise passenger capacities over more ports, over more cruise areas, over more countries. The success of the Baltic is also possible in the areas of West Europe, of UK & Ireland and of Norway and Iceland. Cruise lines have to be convinced that all four cruise areas in Northern Europe have equal attractions and many good ports to host the growing cruise fleet.

The members of Cruise Europe have to market their cruise area as an attractive cruise destination in its own. To sell just one port to the cruise line does not help. Cruise ports have to work together to form an itinerary, which works for the cruise lines.

Despite the global recession the cruise industry will grow because of the high customer satisfaction. Nowhere customers can find such a perfect holiday: visiting many new destinations, being served with great food in an excellent manner, enjoying state-of-the-art cruise ships with outstanding entertainment, wellness, relaxation and fun. Cruise Europe is part of this cruise product and partner of the cruise lines. Let’s grow with our customers.

Antwerp


The activities of the port of Antwerp are generally associated with goods, transport and high economic performances, but we deliver more than that. In the historical port area you will find marinas, both on the left and right bank of the river, offering facilities for a wide range of water-based leisure interests. The main activity on the Scheldt quays since 1996 is cruise related, and the investments in the terminal and facilities make Antwerp a fully-operational cruise destination.
Antwerp is the second-largest port in Europe and the regeneration of the historical docks area affords the visitor a view of a truly trendy city: stylish architecture blends with bars and restaurants in the old town. Cobbled streets wind along the historical city center as the sightseeing riches from the Golden Age are within walking distance of the berth. The aesthetics and functionality of this layout make Antwerp a unique cruise destination.

Bilbao


With more than 700 years of history, Bilbao is the economic and financial centre of the Basque Country and its largest urban area.
Without losing its strong identity as a vital town for business and industry , Bilbao has developed in the last years a series of modern architectural and cultural infrastructures such as the Guggenheim Museum that, in combination with other previously existing historical or cultural sites.
Although the building designed by Frank Gehry has been in the forefront of the redeveloping of the city, we shouldn´t fail to recall other museums, such as the Fine Arts Museum or the Basque Museum among others.
And after a visit to these first-class art galleries, one can immerse in fine architecture and history by taking a walk along the streets of the old town and the 19th century expansion, and of course do not leave to escape the opportunity to taste the famous basque cuisine in one of the renown restaurants that thrive in this area.

The estuary is protected by a spectacular 200 metre-wide estuary mouth, and is fondly remembered by all who have navigated through her. Alfer pasing through a narrow canal flanked by steep hillsides, at the foot of which stand the castles of San Felipe and la Palma, the estuary opens out into a wide expanse of calm water where Ferrol’s Port lies.

This is where the land and sea meet each other; in the winter intertwined in snow, and in the summer the waves caress the seaside sand and the rocky shores of the archipelago.

Alesund


Ålesund has a beautiful setting across several islands stretching out into the sea, and is situated at the very entrance of the UNESCO World Heritage site, the Geirangerfjord. Above all Ålesund is internationally renowned for its unique architecture in the Art Nouveau style. The town was devastated by fire on a winter’s night in 1904, laying 850 houses in ashes and leaving 10,000 people homeless. The new Ålesund ‘rose from the ashes’ in the continental turn-of-the-century style with a myriad of turrets, spires and medieval ornaments.

Aksla, the town mountain, offers breathtaking views across the Art Nouveau town, islands and fjords. The Art Nouveau Centre portrays the unique position Ålesund has in Norwegian architectural history and the Atlantic Sea-Park, one of the largest aquariums in Northern Europe, is located in Ålesund.

Isafjordur has a history of trade and commerce dating back to the 16th century. The port of Isafjordur is close to the most effective fishing grounds in Icelandic and east Greenland waters and is en route of fishing vessels sailing to and from these arctic waters north of Iceland.
The harbor is open 24 hours and all service is available around the clock. Port of Isafjordur has modern harbor facilities including new 190 meters long wharf with 8,0 meters depth at low tide water where vessels can stay off the pier at SW corner 15 mtr. and NA corner 30 mtr. if draft promise.
Although relatively small, Isafjordur is a bustling and widely visited harbor servicing cruise ships and cargo vessels as well as fishing vessels.
Cruise ship arrivals in Isafjordur have been steadily increasing over the last decade or so. In the year 2015, 60 ship calls have already been announced, so the outlook is good. However, we allways welcome more traffic.

Klaksvik


Klaksvik is the second biggest town of the Faroe Island, and the biggest white fish town too. The town is located on Bordoy, which is one of the northernmost islands. Klaksvik is located between two inlets lying back to back. It is an important harbour with fishing industry, and a modern fishing-fleet.

Originally four farms were at the location where Klaksvik is now. By time they grew into four villages that finally merged to what now is called Klaksvik. What really kicked off the development towards a town was the set up af a centralised store for all the northern islands on the location.

The church Christians-kirkjan dates from 1963. Its architecture is unconventional with a detached bell-frame. It is made of Faroese basalt and wood. Inside the church a Faroese rowing boat is hanging down from the ceiling. The font is made af a 4000 years old heathen sacrificial bowl originating from Denmark.

Runavik


- Our main port - King's Harbour:
The Port of Runavík, also known as King's Harbour, is situated in the heart of Faroe Islands connected via subsea tunnels to Norðuroyggjar (20 minutes from Runavík to Klaksvík) and to Tórshavn (12 minutes from Runavík to Tórshavn). History tells us that both the King of Denmark and vikings used this harbour, because it was the safest natural harbour in the Faroe Islands.

The port offers good reception facilities with tourist information, Ask Me-staff and free shuttle buses on request. Cruise ships dock at King's Harbour, quaysides 2, 3 and 4. The total length of the quaysides is 567 m with water depths from 5 - 12 m (of which 321 m have a depth of 12 m).

Saudarkrokur


When the buzz of an exciting, new Icelandic port called Saudarkrokur began to surface in late 2018, it soon became apparent that this relatively unknown Icelandic cruise port was definitely one to watch!

Well placed on Iceland’s north coast and in the shelter of the Skagafjordur fjord, Saudarkrokur currently offers one berthing space alongside for cruise vessels up to 200 metres in length, along with two additional anchorages – one 0,5 nm away and the other 0,8 nm away.
Worth noting is that an additional floating tender pier is planned for March 2020 in readiness of the port’s first operational cruise season.

The port is equipped with WiFi and washroom facilities and is 15 minutes walking distance from the Old Town with its museums and quaint streets.
Worth a mention is the ‘Verslun Haraldur Júlíussonar’ - a wonderful, time-traveller style General Store on Adalgata that has been in business since 1919 and where the gas is still pumped by hand.

Seydisfjordur


Seydisfjordur harbour provides an ideal destination for cruise ships. The peaceful village, shaped by Norwegian enterpreneurs over a century ago, lies sheltered by dramatic snow-flecked mountains.

The colorful, Norwegian-style wooden houses render this village unique in Iceland, and walking trails around town, out along the coast, or by the Fjardará River allow for many plesurable and relaxing experiences. Seydisfjördur is distinguished by its close proximity to wild nature – some might even consider it on the verge of the uninhabitable. The climate and its harsh tendencies have shaped those living here.Seydisfjordur is home to approximately 700 residents, who have traditionally lived off fishing. In recent years, however, tourism has growing. Seyðisfjörður is one of Lonely Planet’s top pick in Iceland. A part of Ben Stiller's movie " The secret life of Walter Mitty" was filmed in Seydisfjordur, a YouTube clip from the film can be found here below.

Siglufjordur


Siglufjörður is Iceland’s northenmost town and is a historic fishing town who’s fame and fortune has always been linked to the ebb and flow of the fishing industry. A tiny shark fishing village in 1900, Siglufjörður soon became one of the largest towns in Iceland and the undisputed capital of herring fishing in the Atlantic. Although the herring has disappeared, the town bears the distinct imprint of “The Herring Era”.
Siglufjörður is along with the community of Ólafsfjörður a part of The Municipality of Fjallabyggð, which came into being when the two communities were merged in 2006. The area maintains a flourishing cultural activity and is known for its dynamic and vibrant extracurricular activities. There are interesting galleries and artist studios to be visited in town.
Since 2002 Siglufjörður has welcomed cruise ship passengers to visit this small town at the edge of North Iceland that is full of well kept history.

The Cruise Europe Port Handbook

Cruise Europe has 120 members in Northern and Atlantic Europe, in a geographical spread from Lisbon - Iceland - North Cape and St. Petersburg.
Our four very different regions offer a diversity of experiences as to history, culture and events.

White nights in the north, hot sunny days in the south. Very old and new exciting architecture as well as very old and new exciting art.
Museums where the guest can get an insight into all aspects of Europe's history, traditions, handicrafts and present day life. All regions give the guest an opportunity to feel the beat of the European cities, shop for the unique design of that special area and savour the national food and drink of the countries where the ships dock.

Nature in Europe is everything from pristine meadows to busy beaches, great coast lines, fjords and islands, walks in birch woods or cypress groves and well-kept golf courses - each with its own characteristic.

Cruising Europe is a movable feast and has become a popular destination over the past decade - there is still a lot to be discovered. Europe is no longer only a summer destination. Cruise lines visit our ports all year.
Christmas markets around Europe have become popular events that attract cruise calls, and the number of winter cruises looking for the northern light have increased dramatically the last few years.

Europe is a region with good infrastructure. Our members keep investing in piers, terminals, waste reception facilities and new shore tours. Every month we bring the broader cruise industry news of port developments or new infrastructure up and down our region.

In a world of geopolitical challenges, it's fair to say that Europe is politically stable.
The lines are not likely to face massive disruption to their itineraries in our region due to political issues if they decide to deploy their vessels in Northern & Atlantic Europe.

The Cruise Europe website and port handbook will give you a good general overview and a deeper insight into all the possibilities and temptations of Cruise Europe's unique destinations.

The key thing is that it can be updated regularly. The cruise lines can choose a region, a country or an itinerary. By choosing this way of presenting our wonderful region we have modern tool for the benefit of the cruise lines.

After all, that is what Cruise Europe is all about. Bringing the members and the cruise lines together.
