Another popular port mulls cruise ship ban
With many modern cruise ships having the capacity to carry nearly 5,000 passengers, the impact that their arrival has on cities that were never designed to accommodate that many visitors can be profound.
Over the last two years, cities like Barcelona in Spain and Dubrovnik in Croatia have both implemented restrictions on visitor numbers to combat overtourism while an effort by the mayor of Nice to outright ban cruise ships with more than 900 passengers was recently overturned by a French court.
Large cruise ships have meanwhile remained banned entirely from the historic center of Venice since 2021.
