A cruise passenger died following a norovirus outbreak on a US -bound ship that confined dozens of travellers to their cabins. Alan Forster, 77, from Paignton, died from suspected kidney failure last October after falling ill with norovirus during a cruise with his wife.

A norovirus outbreak aboard the P&O Cruises' Arcadia ship last fall left dozens of passengers confined to their cabins and is now linked to the death of a 77-year-old British passenger.

A norovirus outbreak aboard P&O Cruises' Arcadia led to the death of a 77-year-old British passenger, Alan Forster. The outbreak, affecting over 100 passengers, has raised concerns about medical care delays and increasing norovirus cases on cruise ships.

Last year, there were 16 outbreaks on cruise ships, from norovirus, salmonella, E. coli or other unidentified pathogens that cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea or vomiting. That's the largest number of cruise ship outbreaks in 12 years.

A virus known as the stomach bug that has surged across parts of the country is the cause of nearly all diarrhea outbreaks reported on cruise ships that docked at U.S. ports in 2024, federal data shows.

A heartbroken wife has been left "blaming herself" after her husband of more than 50 years died of kidney failure after catching norovirus while on a cruise ship holiday. Alan Forster, 77, was aboard the Arcadia with his wife Diana on the month-long P&O voyage.
