An American travel blogger has described panic and uncertainty aboard a luxury cruise ship struck by a suspected hantavirus outbreak in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Cape Verde, which has killed three passengers and left dozens stranded at sea.
The incident unfolded on the Dutch-flagged expedition vessel MV Hondius, which had departed from Ushuaia, Argentina, on March 20 for a long voyage across the South Atlantic, including Antarctica-bound routes.
