This year’s cruise season looks promising, with more than 100 calls expected across the various Faroese cruise ports. One port i preparing to welcome its very first cruise ship calls.

At Cruise Faroe Islands, we are pleased to see continued growth in the cruise industry — both in the number of cruise ports and overall calls. It is especially encouraging to see more cruise ships making multiple calls while visiting the Faroe Islands, creating opportunities for more local communities across the islands.
