Cannes introduces cruise ship limits
The French Riviera resort of Cannes is the latest destination to crack down on cruise ship traffic.
From the start of 2026, ships accommodating more 1,000 guests will be banned from its harbour.
Additionally, there will be a limit of 6,000 passengers per day.
Larger ships are not totally banned from visiting but will have to tender further out at sea.
This is already the case for some of the largest ships now as the port cannot accommodate the largest vessels.
The Cannes city council voted for new limits following similar restrictions in Nice and Villefranche.
“Cannes has become a major cruise ship destination, with real economic benefits. It’s not about banning cruise ships, but about regulating and setting guidelines for their navigation,” said Mayor David Lisnard.
