Three passengers on the MV Hondius die during a reported hantavirus incident on the Atlantic cruise, while one other person is hospitalized and two crew members are reported ill, according to multiple reports citing ship and World Health Organization information. The expedition ship is anchored off Cape Verde and later is reported allowed to dock near the Canary Islands and move toward Rotterdam. Passenger counts vary slightly by outlet: operator statements report 149 people aboard (including a deceased German passenger), while the WHO figure cited by one outlet says 147 people aboard. There are 88 passengers from 15 countries, including the United States, Britain, Spain, and the Netherlands. The crew totals 61 from multiple countries, with 38 crew members from the Philippines—more than half of the crew. Philippine authorities report that all 38 Filipino crew members remain uninfected and are in good condition. However, 21 Filipino crew members are placed under quarantine in Amsterdam for monitoring by Philippine embassy officials and Dutch health authorities, while the remaining 17 stay aboard the ship en route to Rotterdam for additional quarantine procedures. Philippine officials say Filipino crew who want to return must first undergo medical clearance before repatriation, following quarantine and health assessments.
