The wreck of the Costa Concordia cruise liner has arrived in Italy's historic port city Genoa for scrapping, two-and-a-half years after 32 people died when it ran aground off the island of Giglio.

The 300-metre, 114,000-tonne vessel set off from the Mediterranean island on Wednesday after a massive marine salvage operation to stabilise and re-float the ship.

The Concordia ran aground on Giglio on January 13, 2012.

Thirty-two of the 4229 people onboard were killed, but one body was never recovered. A diver also died during the salvage work in February.

The Costa Concordia dismantling operations are predicted to last two years. (AAP)
