This drone video taken at Aliaga Port in Turkey shows a cruise-ship graveyard. The market has been decimated by the pandemic with the industry losing a staggering USD1 billion a month.

After dreaming up the idea and then advertising it on Facebook, within a few hours the man had already booked enough people on his personal cruiser for four different tours.
