Cruise line executives explore Denmark in the shoulder season. CruiseCopenhagen hosted two FAM trips
From September 25 to October 7, 2022, CruiseCopenhagen hosted two FAM trips, giving cruise line executives the opportunity to visit 11 Danish cruise destinations in the shoulder season.
All the way from Bornholm in the east to the northern tip of Jutland. The Danish landscape has many enchanting sights and views, and these only become more magical in the golden colours of the autumn. To showcase the beauty and possibilities in Denmark, CruiseCopenhagen invited cruise line executives on two FAM trips taking place from September 25 to October 7, 2022.
“It is always a pleasure hosting FAM trips. It gives us the possibility to share the very best of our destinations with cruise lines, and by hosting the trips during the shoulder season, we are not only promoting the destinations in our network but also Denmark as a year-round cruise destination,” says Helene Mølgaard Bæk, Manager at CruiseCopenhagen.
The purpose of FAM trips is for cruise line executives to learn more about each of the destinations while getting first-hand experiences of attractions and sights relevant to their guests. The cruise line executives also had the opportunity to explore the ports in more detail, ask questions directly and learn more about potential developments at the different destinations.
“A picture is worth a thousand words, but experiencing a destination yourself is worth a million pictures. There is no better way to learn about a destination than by walking the streets, experiencing the cultural sites and talking to the people yourself. As a luxury cruise line, we are always looking for the next unique destination. This trip gave me some great new ideas and refreshed look at current destinations,” says Robert de Bruin, Senior Manager, Deployment & Itinerary planning, Seabourn Cruise Line.
