Norway's Best Veko Cruise is one of the most iconic moments of Ekstremsportveko: an evening through the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord from Gudvangen to Flåm, with DJs on deck and skydivers, speedflyers, paragliders and BASE jumpers performing above the fjord. The Head of Veko Cruise plans and runs the cruise, from boat, bus transport and tickets to safety on board and coordination with the air sports. The role requires a structured and service-minded person with event experience who keeps the overview when many moving parts need to come together.
