Summary
A small Alaska cruise ship, the National Geographic Sea Bird, is under fire after two back-to-back voyages hit with major stomach bug outbreaks—nearly a third of passengers and crew got sick, with symptoms ranging from vomiting to diarrhea. The CDC is investigating, noting this is the fourth outbreak on the ship since May, and while the exact cause remains unknown, past outbreaks were linked to norovirus. With nine outbreaks already logged this cruise season—and four tied to this single vessel—the ship’s next stop in Juneau has been canceled to prevent further spread.
