Norwegian Cruise Ship Halted at Mauritius Due to Outbreak

A vessel operated by Norwegian Cruise Line Holding Ltd. has been halted at Mauritius — with passengers temporarily unable to disembark or board — after several people became ill.

A “small number” of guests on the Norwegian Dawn’s South Africa voyage had mild symptoms of a stomach-related illness, a spokesperson for the cruise line said in a statement. Upon the ship’s return to Port Louis, Mauritius, local authorities met with the ship’s management team to assess the situation.
