Overview
- The CDC confirms 101 cumulative illnesses since departure, including 95 passengers and six crew on the 2,647‑person AIDAdiva.
- AIDA says the published totals reflect cases accrued over the voyage rather than simultaneous illnesses and reports a recent downturn in new cases.
- Intensified cleaning and disinfection are underway with stool testing of symptomatic individuals and isolation of sick passengers and crew.
- The outbreak was reported after the ship met the U.S. 3% symptom threshold, and the CDC’s Vessel Sanitation Program is monitoring remotely.
- The ship is transiting the Panama Canal and continuing to planned Pacific and U.S. West Coast calls, as media note 2025’s elevated cruise norovirus activity with CDC tallies reported as high as 21 outbreaks.
