The Silver Shadow was one of several cruise ships caught in limbo when the global coronavirus pandemic was declared

A 79-year-old Canadian man who tested positive for COVID-19 while on a cruise ship in South America has died in a Brazil hospital, health authorities said.

The man was admitted to the intensive care unit of the Real Hospital Português de Beneficência in Recife for treatment. “Both had comorbidities,” Hecksher said, meaning they both had other medical conditions along with COVID-19.“We have expressed our deepest sympathies to the family on the loss of their loved one,” said Jonathon Fishman, a spokesman for Royal Caribbean Ltd., the parent company that owns the Silver Shadow.. Several ships could not dock at South American ports and are still stranded at sea, including the MS Zaandam, where four passengers have died.
