Read our privacy policy Over 100 holidaymakers are seeking compensation from P&O Cruises after a norovirus outbreak left passengers ill and isolated in their cabins. Claims for compensation have been submitted on behalf of 115 passengers who booked a holiday aboard P&O Cruises’ Ventura and were taken ill on various separate cruise holidays, mainly between April and June 2024. Carnival, the parent company of P&O, is being urged by London-based Hudgell Solicitors to take a “sensible” approach to resolving the claims over “repeated outbreaks onboard” over consecutive months. “Of course, we understand and accept that illness outbreaks can happen on individual cruise sailings, but here we had a situation where it happened on consecutive sailings over a number of months.” Thomson also noted claims that many of the passengers spent a lot of time in their cabin when they were too ill to leave, which had an impact on their entire holiday.
