A campaign vessel docked in Remich at the weekend as part of a two-month tour to rally support for the closure of aging nuclear power plants.
Greenpeace flagship, The Beluga II, stopped over in Luxembourg for the weekend to deliver its message and allow visitors to take a tour.
The trip concluded on Sunday with a rock concert by the band Antifragile.
The magnificent 33-metre long ship was constructed for Greenpeace thanks to a legacy left by Ilse Vormann. It was built in 2004 at a cost of 2.4 million euros.
The Beluga II began its latest tour in Fessenheim, France, where it unfurled its 7.5-metre tall banner displaying the message: “Stop Risking Europe!”.
Over the course of two months, the boat is expected to call off at 14 cities in France, Switzerland and Luxembourg by travelling along the Moselle and Rhine rivers.
If you missed it this weekend, the Beluga II will be in Metz, France from June 3 to 4 and then in Trier, Germany from June 7 to 8.
