Saga confirmed to TTG on Monday (10 February) “a number of individuals” were suffering from a gastrointestinal illness onboard Discovery following a recent cruise to Italy.
A Gibraltar government spokesperson told GBC, the Gibraltar Broadcasting Corporation, the ship was refused permission to dock when it arrived on Saturday morning (8 February).
The ship, understood to be carrying 868 passengers and 513 crew, has continued instead onto Southampton where the cruise terminates.
