Travel pictures: Incredible photos show huge cruise ships being scrapped

Three further cruise ships will soon join the quintet at the Turkish port.

Aliaga’s ship recycling port’s business is up 30 percent on the previous year, according to Getty.

Normally the port doesn’t deal with cruise ships.

“But after the pandemic, cruise ships changed course towards Aliaga in a very significant way,” Kamil Onal, chairman of a ship recycling industrialists’ association, told Reuters.

“There was growth in the sector due to the crisis. When the ships couldn’t find work, they turned to dismantling.”
