Cruise

The Port of Kristiansand is one of the preferred cruise ports between Oslo and Bergen, and has experienced continuous growth in the cruise segment for several years.

More and more cruise ships are finding their way to Kristiansand, and hundreds of thousands of cruise tourists have visited Kristiansand and surrounding attractions. In 2017, the new cruise quay in Kristiansand opened, and guests are greeted by pleasant seasonal shops at Pier 10. In 2022, we set a new record with over 129 cruise calls, with 31 connections to shore power. We have one of Europe's largest shore power facilities, and there is growing interest among shipping companies to use the facility. 

Quay 10 is the preferred cruise quay in the Port of Kristiansand. Outside the cruise season, the quay is used for offshore and other special calls. Calls to Mandal and Lindesnes are on the nest.
