- Amsterdam, along with Venice and Barcelona, is now taking action to reduce cruise tourism in European cities.
- Various coastal communities worldwide have implemented restrictions on large cruise ships in recent years.
- These impactful photos highlight the concerns of port cities, ranging from air pollution to overcrowding.
Coastal communities around the world, from major European cities to small US ports, are making efforts to limit the presence of massive cruise ships that dominate their shores.
In response to concerns over overcrowding and pollution, Amsterdam’s city council decided in July to relocate its cruise ship terminal away from the city center. Similar concerns have been raised by Barcelona, Venice, and Key West, resulting in each city imposing restrictions on large cruise ships in recent years.
However, the impact of these issues can be better understood through these compelling photos, demonstrating why more and more cities are rejecting cruise ships.
The Cruise Lines International Association, representing the cruise industry, did not provide a comment upon request.
