Precautions were taken, but new COVID-19 cases are on the rise for multiple cruise lines.
“A preliminary evaluation shows that there has been a failure in several of our internal procedures,” Hurtigruten CEO Daniel Skjeldam said in a statement. He added the company that sails along Norway’s picturesque coast is “now in the process of a full review of all procedures, and all aspects of our own handling.”that Hurtigruten is "working closely with the Norwegian national and local health authorities for follow-up, information, further testing and infection tracking.
Over the weekend, Skjeldam said cruise ship officials did not know that they should have notified the passengers after the first case was reported Friday, adding that they followed the advice of the ship’s doctors. There were 209 guests on the first voyage and 178 guests on the second voyage, though the ship holds between 530 and 600 passengers, according to CruiseMapper. All have been asked to self-quarantine, according to the cruise line, though there was a delay between them leaving the ship to go into shoreside communities and being alerted about the virus by the cruise line.
The entire MS Roald Amundsen crew was tested after four crew members became sick and tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday. An additional 32 crew members tested positive while 122 crew members tested negative, the cruise line said Saturday.
