Norovirus Outbreak on Cruise Ship Ends in Relieved Bordeaux. A French lockdown order has been lifted on the Ambition cruise ship, which had been docked in Bordeaux since Tuesday with a confirmed norovirus outbreak. The decision allows the 1,701 passengers and crew members, mainly from the UK and Ireland, to disembark from Wednesday afternoon. However, those who have been infected with the highly contagious vomiting virus will be required to remain in isolation, while asymptomatic individuals will be free to leave the ship. The outbreak resulted in the death of one person and dozens of others becoming ill, sparking concerns over public health.
