Every docking is a party in Korsør, Cruise Baltic's newest partner  

With more and more people taking cruises, it makes the travel experience that bit more exclusive to dock in one of the smaller harbours. When there is only one cruise ship visiting a town with 77,000 inhabitants, one notices both the ship and the guests, who we then try to do something special for. We festoon the town with flowers and flags, play music and are dedicated to giving passengers and crew a positive experience, says the head of the commercial department, Per Madsen, Slagelse Community. He continues:

- Cruise Baltic Project has done a great deal of professional work. It is a good project and we would very much visible within it. And that is why we have now chosen to enter this partnership. Korsør began to investigate the possibilities for accepting cruise ships in 2000, last year the town welcomed its first cruise ship, this year two ships will dock there and next year there will be four. This is a very positive development for Korsør Harbour. It gives belief in the future. When Korsør first becomes visible as a cruise destination the news will spread throughout the cruise industry and more cruise ships will come - this has been shown by the experiences of other harbours, says Per Madsen.

With a location on Denmark's largest island, Zealand, between Tivoli (Copenhagen) and H.C. Andersen's House (Odense), close to Gavnø Castle, Trelleborg and Holmegaards Glassworks, Korsør Harbour in the district of Slagelse offers easy access for cruise ships and is only a short detour from the international sailing route in the Storebælt (Great Belt).
