Infectious disease on cruise ships

Infectious disease on cruise ships is a hazard associated with cruises. Outbreaks of contagious diseases can spread quickly due to the confined cruise ship environment, reliance on shared spaces, the lack of healthcare facilities, and the large number of passengers and crew members from disparate points of origin.

Outbreaks of diseases including norovirus, Legionnaire’s, cyclosporiasis, and COVID-19 have all occurred on cruise ships.
