If you are on site, be aware that hantavirus is a serious health concern. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop symptoms, and inform healthcare providers of any recent cruise ship travel. Avoid contact with rodents and their droppings, which are the primary transmission source.

Follow guidance from UK health authorities and the NHS regarding testing, isolation, and preventive measures. Monitor official updates regularly for any travel restrictions or additional precautions specific to your location. For medical concerns, contact local health services directly rather than relying on general information.
