"Gastrointestinal Outbreak Affects Over 100 Cunard Passengers"

More than 100 passengers and crew members on Cunard Line's Queen Victoria ship fell ill with gastrointestinal symptoms, prompting enhanced health and safety protocols. The causative agent remains unknown, and the outbreak occurred during a 107-night world voyage. This follows a recent norovirus outbreak on a Celebrity Cruises ship, with the CDC reporting 14 outbreaks in 2023. While cruises are often associated with norovirus, most outbreaks occur in health care settings.
