Israelis stuck on cruise ship off Chilean coast
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAbout a dozen Israelis are stuck on a cruise ship off the coast of Chile, as they and their fellow travelers are not allowed to dock to fears of the coronavirus, the son of a British-Israeli couple tells The Times of Israel.
The Celebrity Eclipse was supposed to conclude its two-week tour in the Pacific Ocean and disembark today. But the ship’s captain told them that the Chilean authorities are not allowing it to dock, forcing the ship to go in circles off the port of San Antonio, near the capital of Santiago.
There are no known cases of corona on the Celebrity Eclipse, but everyone on the ship is expected to remain on board for at least 14 days before they are allowed to disembark.
