Cruise Ship Hit by Hantavirus Outbreak Docks in Rotterdam The arrival of the MV Hondius in Rotterdam marks the end of a long, troubled journey for its crew.
The ship's passengers disembarked at various ports along the way, but it's clear that this outbreak was just one symptom of a larger issue: the global cruise industry's inadequate response to public health crises.
The hantavirus outbreak on board has claimed three lives and infected 11 people. This incident mirrors a wider pattern in the industry's handling of illness on board.
