Man dies as bug hits cruise ship
Keith | Jul 7 2009

A man has died and more than 150 people have taken ill on board a cruise liner berthed in Invergordon, Easter Ross.

The vomiting bug, norovirus, is thought to have taken hold on the Marco Polo, which is touring the UK and Ireland with 769 passengers and 340 crew.

On Monday, a 74-year-old man, thought to be from Norwich, died on the liner.

Operators Transocean Tours said the man’s death was unrelated to the virus outbreak, and that the ship had been inspected by local health officials.
