After a roughly month-long voyage and days of quarantining, the remaining Canadians aboard a cruise ship at the centre of a high profile and fatal hantavirus outbreak are set to begin their journey home.
Oceanwide Expeditions, the owner of the MV Hondius, says four Canadians and roughly 130 other asymptomatic passengers are to disembark in groups of five to 10 at a port in Tenerife, an island in Spain’s Canary Islands, at around 2 a.m. EDT.
