A cruise ship carrying Israeli tourists departed the Greek island of Syros on Tuesday without its passengers disembarking after a protest by more than 150 people at the port.
Demonstrators waved Palestinian flags and called for an end to the conflict in Gaza.
They displayed banners reading "Stop the Genocide" and "No a/c in hell."
The vessel, identified as the Crown Iris operated by Israeli company Mano Cruise, had about 1,700 passengers on board.
“The management of Mano Cruise has decided in light of the situation in the city of Syros to now sail to another tourist destination,” the company said in a press release.
“All passengers and crew members are resting and spending time on the ship on their way to the new destination.”
