(ANSA) - VENICE, JUL 23 - An absolute novelty for cruise traffic took shape today in Venice: a large ship, Norwegian Gem, a nearly 300-meter flagship of the Scandinavian company Norwegian Cruise, stopped off the Lido, to dock in the city, and have the passengers arrive in Venice with a transfer on 'lancioni', which will bring them back on board tonight.
A hit and run trip for 1,500 people, avoiding the prohibitions that since August 2021 (by decree) have prevented ships over 25 thousand tons from arriving in Marittima via San Marco and Giudecca, only being able to access the quays of Marghera by other routes.
