The Norwegian Cruise Conference
The International Arena for the Maritime Side of the Norwegian Cruise Industry.
The Norwegian Cruise Conference is an international meeting place for all those involved in the maritime side of the Norwegian cruise industry. It is a dialogue conference between the public sector and the industry, where the common denominator for all parties involved is the goal of safe and efficient Norwegian cruises. The recurring themes are Safety – Preparedness – Sustainability – Green transition.
At this event representatives of cruise lines operating in Norway meet, joined by shipping companies considering calling on Norwegian ports. A wide range of professionals convene to stay informed on Norwegian maritime safety regulations, preparedness- and rescue measures relevant to cruise traffic in Norwegian waters. Key players from both private and public sectors will share their insight and experiences in both lectures and debates.
The conference suits both leaders and employees. The event takes place in Ålesund, Norway every January. It is organized by the Norwegian Coastal Administration (NCA) and the Norwegian Maritime Authority (NMA), with Cruise Norway and AECO as important backers.
In 2024, 125 participants from the national and international cruise industry attended, along with representatives from relevant Norwegian maritime authorities.
