Cruise ship passengers had a rude welcome to France at the weekend as environmental protesters gathered to condemn their choice of travel.
Tourists aboard the ‘World Traveller’ cruise ship were greeted by cries of “shame on you!”, “you are not welcome” and “go home” upon arrival into the port of Douarnenez in Brittany.
Around 80 demonstrators met the 196-person-capacity luxury vessel owned by Atlas Ocean Voyages, a US-based company which promises “intimate, yacht-style cruises” to “unreachable destinations”.
