  • Russian cruise liner companies are offering pirate-hunting trips on armed private yachts off the Somali coast.
  • Passengers pay £3,500 a day hoping to be attacked by raiders so they can retaliate with grenades, machine guns and rockets.
  • The ships cruise slowly close to the coast in an attempt to attract the pirates.
This is taking tourism to a strange level (I can’t say new, ‘cause Africa has been exploited forever)…but killing pirates for fun?
