Euro News: The SH Diana is now inching towards its next departure port at 11km/h.
Passengers on an Antarctic cruise have staged a hunger strike after the ship’s engine failed, forcing the expedition to be cut short.
SH Diana, operated by cruise company Swan Hellenic, left Cape Town on 13 November for a 21-day voyage to the southern region.
However, one of the ship’s electric motors experienced an “unexpected malfunction”, putting an end to the €10,000 trip.
The vessel is due to arrive at its next departure port in Ushuaia, Argentina, on Saturday to undergo repairs. more
Hunger strikes are always stupid but this one is positively imbecilic.
Must have been a demwit sponsored cruise to get away from Trump. That’s the only way this ‘hunger strike’ of ill repute could be explained…
“It uses zero-emission battery technology allowing it to operate silently when docked in ports, marine reserves and other protected natural areas”.

Tough shitski
Don’t eat the food that you paid for. That’ll teach ’em.
The passengers turning themselves into shark bait will not hurt the cruise line. Really stupid plan.
Are there any sharks in Antarctic waters?
A cruise ship propelled with trolling motors, what could possibly go wrong?
Wouldn’t like to putt putt around ice bergs with a bum engine
Has to be a boatload of Liberals. I can’t imagine another group being that dumb.
True, no sharks in Antarctic waters apparently, but the Orcas might enjoy an alternative food – stupid, self-starved cruise passengers, if they’re fresh enough.
