Cannes Is Done with Huge Cruise Ships. The French City Is Joining the Overtourism Backlash
- On June 27, Cannes city council voted to limit cruise ships to fewer than 1,000 passengers, effective January 1, 2026, at the French Riviera port.
- This regulation responds to concerns about overtourism, environmental harm, and crowd management amid Cannes' rise as a major cruise destination.
- The rules include capping daily disembarking passengers at 6,000, allowing one ship per day, and require large ships to tender passengers ashore.
- Mayor David Lisnard emphasized that the focus is on managing and controlling cruise ship operations rather than prohibiting them, even as cruise companies warn that such measures could harm the local economy.
- Cannes’ move marks a broader shift toward sustainable tourism that may inspire other destinations balancing economic benefits with environmental and cultural preservation.
