The debate over whether or not cruise ships should be allowed in Venice is long-running. Though the internet was awash with news just months ago about cruise ships being banned, reports have now emerged suggesting the rent-a-crowd giants are still operating in Venice.
As the BBC reported in April, “The country’s culture minister said the decision [to ban cruise ships] came in response to a request from UN cultural body Unesco.”
“Large ships will now have to dock at the city’s industrial port until a permanent solution is found,” he added.
