Holiday hotspot makes move to ban cruise ships in attempt to fight ‘overtourism’
Cannes will no longer roll out the red carpet for giant cruise ships carrying more than 1,000 passengers, city councillors have announced.

It follows other European hotspots that have banned huge liners from their shores and imposed passenger restrictions.
Cannes city councillors voted Friday to introduce new limits on cruise ships entering its ports starting in January 2026.
