Passengers 'trapped' on virus ship

Jul 8 2009

Passengers are waiting to find out when they will be allowed to get off a ship at the centre of a vomiting bug outbreak.

The operators of the Marco Polo have said the cruise ship will terminate its voyage at Invergordon, in Easter Ross, where it is currently berthed.

Hundreds of passengers and crew on board have shown symptoms of norovirus and are being treated on the ship.
