Health officials have reported a gastrointestinal illness outbreak aboard an Alaska cruise ship<\/a>, marking the vessel’s third stomach bug outbreak in about two months.<\/p>\n

The National Geographic Sea Bird, operated by Lindblad Expeditions, was the subject of a July 15 report<\/a> by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP).\u00a0<\/p>\n

The CDC said the outbreak aboard the trip was reported July 12 \u2014 halfway through its July 10 to July 15 voyage from Sitka to Juneau, Alaska.<\/p>\n

The latest incident marks the third gastrointestinal illness outbreak reported aboard the ship since late May, according to the VSP.<\/p>\n

In the most recent outbreak, 18 of the ship’s 62 passengers \u2014 or nearly a third of those aboard \u2014 reported being ill.<\/p>\n

The predominant symptoms were “vomiting [and] abdominal cramps,” the report said. As of Monday, the source of the outbreak is unknown.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Officials reported that the ship’s crew isolated the ill passengers and crew. Officials also increased “cleaning and disinfection procedures according to their outbreak prevention and response plan.”<\/p>\n

“VSP is remotely monitoring the situation, including review of the ship’s outbreak response<\/a> and sanitation procedures,” the statement added.<\/p>\n

The CDC said the cause of the outbreak remains unknown, though norovirus is a common cause of gastrointestinal illness outbreaks on cruise ships.<\/p>\n

“Finding the agent that caused an outbreak [meaning the causative agent] can take time,” said the VSP. “When an outbreak occurs, people whose symptoms [meet] the case definition are asked to provide stool or vomitus samples.”<\/p>\n

“In this outbreak, samples are pending confirmatory testing,” the report also noted.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic Expeditions, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Fox News Digital also reached out to the CDC.<\/p>\n

Users on an online forum expressed disgust over the latest outbreak.<\/p>\n

“They need to use bleach to sanitize every inch of that ship,” one commenter said.<\/p>\n

“Gross,” another person said.<\/p>\n

After a previous outbreak on the National Geographic Sea Bird two months ago, a Reddit user wrote, “It happens every year and all the time.”<\/p>\n

Another wrote at the time, “My sister and I were on the Sea Bird, on the cruise [that] left Sitka on May 31st. Lindblad told us they were doing extra sanitizing of the ship.”<\/p>\n

The incident follows a string of cruise-related health incidents that have made headlines in recent months.<\/p>\n

In April, a hantavirus outbreak aboard the MV Hondius<\/a> drew international attention after it was linked to three passenger deaths.<\/p>\n

Also in the spring, more than 100 people fell ill during a norovirus outbreak aboard the Caribbean Princess<\/a>, according to the CDC.<\/p>\n

The National Geographic Sea Bird is a 152-foot expedition vessel carrying up to 62 guests.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Its shallow draft allows access to narrow inlets and wildlife-rich fjords beyond the reach of larger ships.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
