An outbreak of hantavirus on the MV Hondius in the Atlantic has prompted health concerns, though experts assess the risk of wider spread as low.
The virus does not transmit easily through casual contact, limiting its potential to affect large numbers of people beyond the ship. This contrasts with more contagious illnesses commonly linked to cruises, such as norovirus, which spreads rapidly in close quarters and is often dubbed the cruise ship virus.
