Extended cruise season in OsloFortunately - per October 1st the cruise season is still not over for Oslo. This month we expect six more ships with foreign cruise guests to visit our city, and on December the 12th Oslo has a Christmas cruise visit with mostly British tourists who want to experience the Christmas atmosphere in the city. 03.10.2011
Change in the split in nationalities
Approx 38 000 are British and approx 34 000 are US citizens. Only a couple of years ago the Americans were the biggest group of cruise passengers to Oslo - more than 80 % of the total. The Europeans have really started to choose cruise vacations, which is shown in our statistics. Analysers mean that in 2015 there will be more Europeans than Americans on cruise vacations. As number 4 on the list of the Port of Oslo we find Italy with approx 30 000 cruise passengers. The two important Italian cruise lines, Costa Cruises and MSC Cruises are frequent in Oslo. Many Norwegian passengers All time high in 2012 as well! The season extends - in 2012 only 4 months will be without cruise calls. The Port of Oslo has no ice problems, so maybe this port in the future can be a all year round port of call? |
