“We have offered one of our ships to the Italian Government to be integrated into the National Civil Protection’s plans as a potential temporary hub for Ukrainian refugees in case of growing numbers of arrivals in Italy in the coming weeks,” Costa Cruises said in a statement reported by USA Today.

“Our thoughts are with the affected people, including the families of our many Ukrainian employees who are understandably concerned for their loved ones,” the company added.
