The Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP) requires cruise ships to log and report the number of passengers and crew who say they have symptoms of gastrointestinal illness. Learn more about illnesses and outbreaks reported to VSP and find information about outbreaks of gastrointestinal illness on cruise ships.
In the first half of 2023, there were 13 reports of ships with Norovirus cases where roughly 3 to 5% of passengers and 1 to 2% of staff became infected. In 2022, there were 4 cases and in 2021, there was only one case. We would have to go back to 2012 where there were more cases for the entire year (16) to be more than seen in the first half of this year.
