Waking up in Limassol has been a sight for sore eyes, with four of Carnival Corporation’s most attractive passenger vessels already anchored off Moni, east of the port town, utilising the government’s incentives for the lay-up of ships, until coronavirus global travel restrictions allow for cruises to resume.
Each vessel will contribute some €20,000 a month to the Cyprus economy for the duration of their stay, industry observers with knowledge of the deal told the Financial Mirror.
With four cruise ships already here and two more expected in mid-June and later in the month, these six vessels alone will be contributing about €120,000 a month to the local economy.
