A cruise liner with 41 Irish passengers on board has reportedly been quarantined at a port in Sweden after a suspected outbreak of Legionnaires disease onboard.
According to reports in this morning's Irish Independent passengers on board the 'Black Watch' liner were told of the outbreak of the life-threatening bacterial disease yesterday evening.
The ship, which is carrying over 700 passengers, is now docked at Stockholm.
It is believed eight people have been taken off the ship for treatment, while the remaining passengers have not been allowed to go ashore.
