Lyngdal, a Norwegian port, has nine calls booked this year from Phoenix Reisen, representing all of its seasonal cruise business.
That is twice as much as last year, according to a spokesperson, and the German brand is set to deliver a similar number of calls and passengers in 2020.
The relatively new cruise port offers a new destination for cruise lines with a small city and untouched nature offering, the spokesperson said.
A new shuttle bus has been added to take passengers to the city center for a modest fee.
