Molde is a port city nicknamed "Town of Roses" for its floral gardens and white painted woofen houses. Don't hesitate to discover the marketplace with its stunning city hall and visit Molde Church, situated high above the city and richly decorated by some of the leading artists in Norway. From nearby Varden Viewpoint travelers can enjoy a breathtaking view over Molde itself, the snowcapped mountain peaks and the small isle of the Romsdalfjord.
In June 2022, Enova SF (Norwegian state-owned enterprise) provided grants for installing shore power connectivity at several Norwegian cruise ports (including Molde), scheduled for completion and inauguration in 2023. Between 2016-2022, Enova granted a total of NOK 842 million for 119 such projects. The technology allows the berthed cruise ship to shut down its diesel engines and instead use the city-grid electricity for the onboard hotel operations and services, thus saving fuel and reducing emissions. Enova SF (2001-founded government enterprise) is owned by Norway's Ministry of Petroleum and Energy and managed by the Ministry of Climate and Environment.
The town was founded during the 15th century. In 1742 it was granted municipal charter and mostly destroyed during World War 2. Much of what tourists see today are modern structures, although some old wooden Romsdal houses were preserved and are currently on display at city's open-air museum.
In 2018, the cruise port handled 54 ship calls (23% increase over 2017).
