Alaska Cruise Ship Sickening Passengers | Anchorage News
Description
A small cruise ship, the National Geographic Sea Bird, is facing a major health scare after multiple outbreaks of a stomach bug—now in its fourth wave since late May. Nearly a third of passengers on one trip got sick, with 32 people across two July voyages affected, showing symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, and cramps. The CDC confirmed earlier outbreaks were caused by norovirus, but the latest strain remains unidentified. This ship alone accounts for four of nine cruise outbreaks this season, forcing the cancellation of a stop in Juneau. A scenic Alaskan getaway turned into a stomach-churning nightmare.
