How the status labels work
Status is mechanical, applied identically to every ship — no editorial judgement: Needs attention = latest CDC score ≤ 85 (the CDC's own unsatisfactory line), or an EU grade of C/D, or two-plus CDC-logged outbreaks since January 2025. Excellent = CDC ≥ 96 (or EU grade A where no CDC score exists) and no outbreak since January 2025. Everything else is Good. Inspections are point-in-time; always check the date column.

European-inspected ships (EU SHIPSAN grades)
These ships sail mainly in European waters and are inspected under the EU SHIPSAN framework rather than by the CDC — for most Mediterranean fleets this is the official health record.

The CDC logs outbreaks on ships under its jurisdiction when ≥3% of passengers or crew report gastrointestinal illness. European-waters outbreaks are handled by national port health authorities and are not all centrally published — absence from this log is not proof of absence.

For journalists — story lines & data
The CDC has logged 9 cruise ship gastrointestinal outbreaks in 2026 so far, after a record 23 in 2025 — Holland America's Rotterdam and Eurodam account for four apiece since 2024 (Mobi Doctor Cruise Ship Health Index).
40 cruise ships currently hold a perfect 100 CDC sanitation score — while Norwegian Dawn (84), Le Lyrial (83), Villa Vie Odyssey (81), Emerald Princess (78) sit below the CDC's satisfactory threshold — a score of 85 or lower fails.
Europe inspects cruise ships too: under the EU SHIPSAN framework, 116 inspections since 2025 graded ships A–D — including a C for Astoria Grande (Dec 2025) and a D for Gemini (2024).

Frequently asked questions
What is a good CDC cruise ship inspection score?
CDC scores run 0–100 and a score of 85 or lower is unsatisfactory under the CDC's own rules. Most large ships score in the 90s; 40 ships in the current data hold a perfect 100. In this index Norwegian Dawn, Le Lyrial, Villa Vie Odyssey, Emerald Princess currently sit below the satisfactory threshold (85 or lower).
Which cruise ships have had norovirus outbreaks recently?
The CDC has logged 9 gastrointestinal outbreaks in 2026 so far (National Geographic Sea Bird, National Geographic Sea Bird, Ruby Princess, National Geographic Sea Bird, National Geographic Sea Bird, Caribbean Princess, Insignia, Star Princess, Seven Seas Mariner), after 23 in 2025 — a record year. The full 2024–2026 log is on this page. Repeat entries cluster on long-itinerary fleets: Holland America's Rotterdam and Eurodam appear four times each.
Are European cruise ships inspected like US ones?
Yes — ships in European waters are inspected under the EU SHIPSAN framework (grades A best to D) using the European Manual for Hygiene Standards, while ships calling at US ports are scored 0–100 by the CDC Vessel Sanitation Program. Many Mediterranean fleets (Costa, AIDA, much of MSC) rarely call at US ports, so their SHIPSAN grade is the meaningful official record — this index shows both wherever they exist.
How do I avoid getting sick on a cruise?
Wash hands with soap before every meal (sanitiser alone is weak against norovirus), use the wash stations at buffet entrances, avoid buffet service during reported illness on board, drink bottled or ship-treated water in ports where tap water is uncertain, and report symptoms to the medical centre early — isolation protects you and everyone else. If you have a chronic condition, review your medication plan with a doctor before sailing.
Do I need a medical certificate to go on a cruise?
Sometimes. Cruise lines generally require a doctor’s fit-to-travel confirmation for pregnancy (most lines will not carry passengers entering the 24th week by the end of the voyage), for oxygen or dialysis use, and after recent surgery or major cardiac events; policies differ by line. A Mobi Doctor physician can assess you online and issue documentation where clinically appropriate.
