Faced with the largest migration crisis in the nation's history, Sweden has left no stone unturned in dealing with the acute housing shortage. Many hotels, military barracks and schools have been turned into refugee accommodations. Now, a hurried decision to house refugees on a luxury boat may prove costly and cause regret.
On Monday, the owners of the cruise liner Ocean Gala, which was earlier this year rented in order to provide accommodation for refugees, sent their first invoice to the Swedish Migration board. The Swedish government is going to billed 800,000 kronor (roughly 95,000 dollars) a day, despite the fact that no refugees are currently housed on the ship, Swedish Radio reported.
