Officials in the island nation of Mauritius blocked a Norwegian Cruise Line ship from docking there on Sunday, after more than a dozen passengers were stricken with a stomach illness. Around 15 passengers aboard the Norwegian Dawn remain in isolation due to an undisclosed 'health risk' and are undergoing testing, according to the Mauritius Ports Authority.
About 2,000 of those travelers were set to complete their journey on Sunday by disembarking in Mauritius, in the Indian Ocean just east of Madagascar, the Ports Authority said. Then more than 2,200 new passengers were scheduled to board. The Authority said that the passengers who were due to start their cruise on Sunday would not be able to do so that day, and would have to be relocated to available hotels.
