| Venetian cruise protests

PROTESTERS at the port of Venice delayed
the departure of three cruise ships, Costa
Fascinosa, MSC Opera and MSC Musica, last
Sunday, with a protest against the increasing
number of large ships which are coming into
the city.
The aptly named group No Big Ships, took 70
small boats into the water during the protest,
with the Fascinosa, Opera and Musica having
to delay their departure due to “safety
concerns” posed by the protesters vessels.
