Extinction Rebellion activists block cruise ship arrival in Amsterdam to protest high pollution levels.

Environmental activists from Extinction Rebellion blocked a cruise ship's arrival in Amsterdam, tying themselves to a lock at the Port of Amsterdam, to protest high pollution levels caused by these vessels. In 2022, cruise ships sailing in European waters emitted over eight million tonnes of CO2, according to a study by NGO Transport and Environment. The group has previously gained notoriety for blocking bridges over the Thames river in London.
