A British cruise ship, the Ambition, is stuck in Bordeaux, France, due to a gastrointestinal outbreak. Over 1700 passengers and crew are quarantined, with up to 50 showing symptoms. The ship was on a 14-night trip from Belfast and Liverpool. This incident comes amid a surge in cruise ship illnesses, with the U.S. CDC reporting 23 outbreaks this year. Passengers are frustrated, but the line is offering full refunds. No connection to the deadly hantavirus scare on another ship. Samples are under analysis, with updates expected soon.
