A cruise liner bound for Dubai is evacuating hundreds of passengers and flying them to the emirate to avoid Somali pirates in the Gulf of Eden, The National has reported. Operators of the Columbus cruise liner set down 246 passengers and most of its crew in the Yemeni Red Sea port of Hodeida after travelling from Italy through the Suez canal. Today they will be flown from Yemen to Dubai to stay for three days in a hotel while awaiting arrival of their ship, which will sail with a skeleton crew through the Gulf of Aden at top speed. Pirates attempted to hijack a cruise liner in the area last month.
