The gigantic P&O cruise ship Azura in the tiny port of Stavanger in Norway. Vastly out-sizing the local buildings. Exciting and horrific in scale.

These cruise ships hold as many as 4000 passengers each. They are here for about 3 hours swelling the population, then suddenly it drops again when they leave. Arguably this brings in trade, others say it makes cities like this unable to cope with the influx.
