Norwegian Cruise Conference: Navigating Sustainability and Safety

On January 22, key stakeholders from the cruise industry and Norwegian authorities will convene for the Norwegian Cruise Conference. The 2026 agenda puts a strong focus on environmental initiatives and safety measures, with an exciting new feature: a live, plenary table-top emergency preparedness exercise.

The conference has established itself as a vital meeting point for international cruise operators active in Norwegian waters and regulatory authorities. With a robust lineup of speakers and contributors, the 2025 program will dive into the latest environmental requirements shaping the industry and explore how stakeholders are responding. Safety and preparedness remain top priorities.

Key Topics

This year’s sessions will spotlight regulatory developments and practical solutions for:

  1. Environmental compliance – requirements and industry responses
  2. Cruise operations and safety – including geopolitical considerations, contingency planning, and resource allocation

Case Study: Emergency Response in Action

For the first time, the conference will feature a live table-top exercise. Selected participants will tackle a hypothetical scenario involving a fire aboard a cruise ship—whether docked, anchored, or underway. The discussion will address critical questions:

  • Who responds, and how?
  • What resources are available?
    Both regulatory authorities and cruise industry representatives will participate, with audience input encouraged.
