Antarctica: Princess Cruises "Golden Princess"
As cruises to and around Antarctica get bigger and more popular, concerns rise over passenger safety (not too many rescue workers in Antarctica should the ship hit an iceberg or something) and environmental impact (cruise ships bring new animals with them and these animals could alter the ecology of Antarctica).
Some information on the new ship heading for the arctic:
The Golden Princess, due to make a three-week voyage through the islands, straits and channels of the Antarctic Peninsula, is 10 times bigger than cruise ships plying Antarctica's waters, and can carry 3,800 passengers and crew.Posted by James Trotta at September 9, 2006 4:19 AM | TrackBack
