In a win for locals and environmentalists, the government has refused to let the massive vessels sail through the city center.
And it likely was a one-off. Earlier this year, as Italy, encouraged by low COVID infection numbers, began to reopen, the tourists are slowly returning to the “floating city.” But at least the cruise ships aren’t coming back.
The ban, which took effect Aug. 1, applies to all ships weighing more than 25,000 tons, more than 590-feet long, or more than 115- feet high. Cruiseliners typically weigh four times the new limit and can reach more than 200,000 tons. “For us it’s a big victory,” Tommaso Cacciari, a member of the No Grandi Navi campaign group, told Reuters. “Many compared us to David against Goliath.”
