Innovations resulting fromShorex 2014
Here is a selection of the new shorex
products that have been developed
through CNNS’s innovation project:
Hammerfest:
A bike ride through
history. Hammerfest produces energy
from five different sources. What could
be more appropriate than a guided tour
of the town’s history while riding on an
electrically powered bicycle or e-bike?
North Cape:
The North Cape Café
Theatre - Our Northernmost Life – The
Show on Top of the World. A cruise
passenger wrote the following after
experiencing this show: “Brilliant!
Entertaining and enjoyable, better than
the cruise ship!”
Lofoten:
“Full Steam” in Henningsvær.
Producing cod liver oil has a long
history in Lofoten and “Full Steam”
gives you the chance to see how this
happens. You will also get to taste from
a shot glass. Most people are surprised
how good it is. An unforgettable
experience.
Narvik:
For calls at Narvik during
the Narvik Winter Festival in March,
a guide will come on board with
“Rombaksmusikken” and explain the
history of the migrant workers and play
their music. Known in UK as navvies
and in Norway as rallar, these workers
built the railway line between Narvik
and Kiruna and maintain an important
place in Narvik’s history.
Polar Park:
Socialized wolves. The
guests visit the world’s northernmost
wildlife park, Polar Park, and can
experience “howl night” with the
Northern Lights, wolf howls and visiting
the socialized wolves at Wolf Camp – a
close-up experience with wild animals.
“The 19 ports that the Holland America Line call at in Norway are simply too
similar to each other. We want you to encourage creativity and develop new shore
excursions.”
Stein Kruse, President and CEO, Holland America Line
