The rising backlash against overtourism has put cruise passengers at risk, prompting the Cruise Lines International Association to consider avoiding popular destinations.
Marie-Caroline Laurent, CLIA’s European director, stated, 'There will be some consideration of adapting the itineraries if for some reason we feel that all passengers will not be well-treated.'
Barcelona, as the most frequented port for cruise ships, stated it cannot accommodate more than 3.5 million tourists, despite the CLIA's claims.
Cruise ships have become a target for protests, with one study showing that Europe's luxury cruise ships emit as much toxic sulphur as 1 billion cars.
