March 24, 2020 The "Costa Victoria" cruise ship will arrive tomorrow morning at the port of Civitavecchia. The search for a port of call is over. The difficulties in granting the ok to the ship's docking were linked to the case of an Argentine passenger who got off the ship in Crete and tested positive for the coronavirus. Over 1,400 people on board the ship will disembark in the port of Civitavecchia tomorrow morning: 726 guests of various nationalities and 776 crew members, to then proceed with the repatriation operations.
