Tvøroyri strengthens its role in the international cruise industry

Tvøroyri Municipality and Nordic Port Group sign strategic partnership agreement

The cruise tourism of Tvøroyri enters a new and significant chapter. Yesterday, Tvøroyri Municipality and Nordic Port Group (NPG) signed a strategic cooperation agreement aimed at developing Tvøroyri into an exciting, sustainable, and professionally operated cruise destination in the North Atlantic.

With this agreement, Tvøroyri becomes part of NPG’s Nordic destination network, together with Härnösand (Sweden), Ystad (Sweden), and Reykjanes (Iceland). This marks the first time a Faroese port has been included in this network.

A growing industry – and a port with a long history

Cruise ships have called at Tvøroyri for many years, and the cruise sector continues to grow steadily. Ships arrive from a wide range of countries – Their interests, expectations, and requirements vary, yet Tvøroyri has consistently shown that it can deliver safe, authentic, and high-quality guest experiences.

What all cruise lines have in common is the ambition to provide their passengers with memorable and meaningful visits. This is one of the key reasons NPG sees strong potential in Tvøroyri and has chosen it as their destination in the Faroe Islands.

Exceptional natural setting: the landscape around Trongisvágsfjørður

Tvøroyri offers natural surroundings that are particularly well suited to cruise operations:

• The surrounding mountains create a uniquely beautiful and inviting backdrop
• The fjord is spacious and safe, suitable for vessels of all sizes
• The community is welcoming, with local people offering rich cultural, natural, and historical experiences

The ambition is to grow cruise tourism in close cooperation with nature, and with full respect for sustainability and environmental considerations. This is a core principle for both Tvøroyri and NPG.

Visit from NPG leadership

In connection with the signing, Tvøroyri Municipality welcomed Linus Mattsson, CEO & Co-Founder, and Ludwig Böss, President & Co-Founder of NPG.
Their visit confirmed Tvøroyri’s strong potential – through its natural setting, harbour facilities, and the competencies found within the local community.

Port of Tvøroyri – one of the largest ports in the Faroe Islands

The Port of Tvøroyri is the commercial heartbeat of the municipality and remains one of the country’s most significant ports.

In recent years, the inner harbour has undergone modernization and beautification, becoming a natural gathering point for the community. There is still considerable potential for further development and expansion throughout the fjord.

The foundations of Faroese port operations were laid in Tvøroyri on 15 August 1924. More than 100 years later, the port continues to be an important maritime hub – and now also a future-oriented cruise destination.

Cruise calls and local expertise

The Harbour Master confirms that cruise ships have visited Tvøroyri regularly for many years.
“The new agreement with Nordic Port Group marks an exciting time for the Port of Tvøroyri. We look forward to welcoming even more visitors, and we are pleased to see the increased activity in the fjord. We are ready to receive more guests in the years to come.”

With this partnership, Tvøroyri gains international visibility and marketing, access to a broad network of cruise lines and industry partners, and growing opportunities for sustainable tourism development – ensuring economic benefits while protecting nature and the local environment.
