Kristiansund hosted FAM trip

Recently, Kristiansund hosted a group of 17 representatives from cruise lines and agents during Cruise Norway’s FAM trip.

Three years after the previous FAM trip to our region, it was great to welcome another inspiring group of cruise representatives to Kristiansund. This year, we chose to focus on the unique island of Grip, along with upcoming product news for cruise groups. The programme included visits to Lossiusgården Clipfish Mansion, the brand-new opera and culture house Normoria – home to Norway’s oldest opera and the regional museum Nordmørsmusea – as well as the Nordic Light House of Photography.

Of course, the iconic Atlantic Ocean Road was also on the programme, along with a trip to the Varden viewpoint and a visit to the Atlantic Cathedral (Kirkelandet Church).

Combined with good food and drinks at Kranaskjæret and Bryggekanten Brasserie, our guests gained a strong impression of the wide range of experiences the city and region have to offer.

The FAM trip also included Trondheim, Molde/Åndalsnes, Geiranger/Hellesylt/Stranda, Ålesund and Bergen. 

Thank you to everyone who visited us, to Cruise Norway for organising the trip, and to the local suppliers who helped make the 24-hour visit to Kristiansund a success!
