It said nine crew members were also affected.
It equated to 13% of the ship’s guests.
The ship arrived back in New York after completing the cruise.
Main symptoms were cramps, vomiting and diarrhea.
Viking implemented its ‘outbreak prevention and response plan.’
As Covid has become less of an issue and overall cruise passenger traffic grows, Norovirus outbreaks are on the rise again.
The CDC has cited 13 outbreaks on cruise ships this year.
Recently, a Celebrity Summit cruise ship reported over 100 passengers sickened by norovirus.
