More than 100 people have become ill as part of an outbreak of the Norovirus on a cruise ship currently docked in the city of San Diego, California.

The outbreak began as part of a 15-night cruise, which ran along the North American west coast.

In February, another ship run by Celebrity⁵ Cruises suffered a Norovirus outbreak which sickened more than 140 people.

The Norovirus creates flu-like symptoms in its victims.

While uncomfortable, the virus is generally not deadly.

However, it his highly virulent⁶, which makes cruise ships particularly vulnerable as hundreds of people are confined in a small space for days on-end.
