Tourists offered boat trips to Costa Concordia wreck
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.
