Abstract

Cruise ships were carrying record numbers of passengers each year until COVID-19 struck in early 2020. With COVID-19 vaccination commencing in many major source countries for cruise ship passengers, it is expected that cruise ship travel will start to recover in the latter part of 2021. Cruise ship travel remains a relatively small part of the overall global travel market, but it remains popular in North America. Cruise ships are like a floating hotel with many facilities to entertain passengers varying from basic to high end. Part of their service includes medical facilities often available 24 h at a cost. Cruise ship medical staff treat a small percentage of cruise ship passengers and crew each cruise. Common conditions occurring amongst travellers include gastrointestinal and respiratory ailments.
