Overview
There are giants in any business. And there are smaller players. The port of Florø is not one of the main Norwegian cruise ports. One could rather say the opposite is true. The geographic location of this Norwegian David is interesting, though. To the south is Bergen; to the north is Ålesund – two Goliaths among Norwegian cruise ports. Can David compare, one might wonder. And does he have to?
A definite plus for our David is his personality. In a world where character counts, the fact that this small town has been recognised as the most charming in Norway must no doubt be considered a big plus. Florø’s 8,500 inhabitants clearly endeavour having a pleasant climate between each other, when not working in the fish industry, building ships or looking after equipment for the offshore oil industry (Norway is one of the world’s major producers of oil and natural gas).
