Tourists offered boat trips to Costa Concordia wreck

Friday, 05 Sep, 2014 0

Tourists are being offered boat tours to see the wreck of Costa Concordia as it is demolished in the Italian port of Genoa.

For €10 euros (£8) a head, visitors can board a boat which takes them within 200 yards of the cruise liner which capsized off the island of Giglio, killing 32 people,  in January 2012

The 950ft-long cruise ship was towed away from Giglio in July, after a complex two-year engineering operation in which it was raised, refloated and finally removed , reports the Telegraph.

The hour-long tours, which leave Genoa’s old harbour every afternoon, take visitors to the industrial port of Pra-Voltri, on the outskirts of Genoa, where the Concordia is moored.

It is expected to take at least two years for the vast ship to be dismantled for scrap.
