French authorities have confined over 1,700 passengers and crew on a British cruise ship docked in Bordeaux after the death of an elderly passenger. The ship, registered in the Bahamas, is under quarantine. Dozens of passengers aboard the Ambition, mostly from Britain and Ireland, also suffered from upset stomachs. Health officials stated there was no connection to a hantavirus outbreak, which was suspected of killing passengers on another cruise ship. One 90-year-old passenger died, and about 50 people showed symptoms of stomach issues. Initial tests ruled out norovirus, with secondary tests ongoing. Symptoms peaked on Monday when the ship was docked in Brest. The ship, which left the Shetland Islands, stopped in several locations before reaching Bordeaux, from where it was scheduled to depart for Spain. No security measures were in place around the ship.
