Read our privacy policy More than 100 passengers on a cruise holiday gave fallen ill after an outbreak of sickness on a Cunard ship. A spokesperson for the cruise line told The Independent: “Cunard confirmed that a small number of guests had reported symptoms of gastrointestinal illness on board Queen Victoria. “They immediately activated their enhanced health and safety protocols to ensure the wellbeing of all guests and crew on board.” The incident comes just weeks after almost 100 passengers on a Celebrity Cruises ship, Celebrity Constellation, contracted norovirus after it departed from Florida on 3 January. The health agency recorded 14 incidents of gastrointestinal illness in 2023 that breached its threshold for public notification, and it states that although people “often associate cruise ships with acute gastrointestinal illnesses”, such as norovirus, outbreaks are “relatively infrequent” on the vessels.
