Venice activists are celebrating the decision by two major cruise operators to drop the lagoon city from their itineraries for the rest of 2020.
MSC Cruises and Costa Crociere both announced in recent days that their Mediterranean cruises will now depart from Genoa and Trieste instead of Venice.
MSC resumed sailing on 16 August while Costa Crociere restarted on 6 September, after months of lockdown.
The activist group No Grandi Navi is celebrating an important step forward in their battle to ban the enormous ships from entering Venice’s waters.
