B6 THE JOURNAL FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 2021 1st cruise ship sails through Venice since start of pandemic

BY COLLEEN BARRY ASSOCIATED PRESS

SOAVE, Italy — Early risers in Venice were surprised Thurs- day to see a cruise ship nosing down the Giudecca canal for the first time since the start of the pandemic, despite repeated gov- ernment pledges to reroute such huge vessels due to safety and environmental concerns. The 92,409-ton MSC Orchestra passed through the basin in front of St. Mark’s Canal around 6 a.m. under tugboat and port authority escort, ahead of the first post-pan- demic cruise ship departure from Venice, scheduled for Saturday. Its arrival comes two years and a day after the MSC Opera struck a dock and a tourist river boat in the same canal, an event that un- derlined safety concerns among anti-cruise ship campaigners. Protests are amping up against the renewal of cruise traffic, just 2 ½ months after Italy’s culture minister, Dario Franceschini, vowed a definitive stop to the passage of big ships through the heart of the city. They include an open letter by the Venice Heritage non-profit organization, signed by celebrities including musician Mick Jagger, actress Tilda Swinton, filmmaker Wes Anderson and director Francis Ford Coppola. “Venice is suffering, and we, ASSOCIATED PRESS citizens of the world, cannot Cruise ship MSC Orchestra passes in the Giudecca Canal in Venice, Italy, early Thursday.
