First Large Cruise Ship Back At Sea Completes 7 Day Cruise

The MSC Grandiosa departed Genoa heading to Civitavecchia last night as it began its second voyage. 

Paolo Signorini, the President of the Genoa cruise port said it was of great satisfaction to host the first voyage of a large cruise ship. 

“For the port of Genoa it was a great satisfaction to host this cruise. In 2019, before the pandemic, we had exceeded for the first time the threshold of two million cruise passengers, consolidating in the first two months of 2020 the position among the leading ports in the Mediterranean with a record of 150,000 passengers (+ 32% compared to 2019), demonstrating the considerable potential for development of the ports of the Ligurian Sea Western,” Signorini said in an interview.
