The Costa Deliziosa cruise ship nearly smashed into an esplanade and a yacht in Venice on Sunday.
Associated PressROME – A cruise ship company says their vessel came close to smashing against a yacht in the Venice lagoon amid stormy weather.
The ship Costa Deliziosa was leaving Venice port Sunday when it was caught in strong wind and hail, and tugboats struggled as they tried to pull it away from the yacht. The incident came just weeks after a massive MSC cruise ship crashed into small riverboat in Venice’s busy Giudecca Canal, wounding five.
Costa Crociere, the company that owns the ship, said Sunday “violent and sudden” gusts of wind hit the ship as it was passing the Venice canal. It said the “port pilot and the three tugs to which the ship was tied promptly assisted it in the maneuver.”Meanwhile, it was reported Monday that the death toll has from the fatal May 29 collision between a Viking cruise ship and a sightseeing boat in Budapest has climbed to 29.
