Almost 2,000 passengers held on cruise ship in Hong Kong amid coronavirus scare. Passengers aboard the World Dream ship, operated by Genting’s Dream Cruises, are being barred from disembarking at Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Cruise Terminal until test results from three suspected cases are returned. The ship arrived in Hong Kong from Taiwan on Wednesday with 1,871 passengers aboard. The vast majority were from Hong Kong, but several passengers traveled to join the cruise from other countries, including Australia, the U.K. and Canada. Three people from mainland China who had previously been on the World Dream between Jan. 19 and 24 had been diagnosed with the virus, according to Reuters. However, Dream Cruises confirmed on Wednesday that no one currently on the ship was from mainland China.
