A Turkish travel vlogger, Ruhi Cenet, says normal cruise routines continued aboard the MV Hondius after the ship’s captain announced the first passenger death linked to a hantavirus infection. Cenet boarded the vessel in Ushuaia, Argentina, on April 1 and described the trip as initially calm and well staffed, with 59 crew serving 88 passengers, many of them older amateur birdwatchers. According to Cenet, even after the first death was made known on board, passengers and staff continued daily activities rather than implementing immediately visible changes in response. Cenet, who is 35, said this lack of visible seriousness on the ship prompted his remarks about how the situation was handled. The reporting references an interview with AFP and notes that Cenet has since left the ship. The account is presented as the vlogger’s perspective on what passengers observed aboard the cruise while health concerns were being communicated.
