Cruise ships isn't the major threat.
Venice is slowly sinking in a time of rising oceans. There is currently a storm barrier protecting the city from coastal surges, but there is a worry that the lagoon will turn into a lake.
Then why is Unesco asking them to get rid of them? They are a huge threat.
It is a way of handling the overtourism. Cruise ships are usually the worst tourists for an area as they clog the more famous monuments and contribute the least to the local economy.
