A great vacation for anyone on a budget is a cruise. When travelers come aboard the Zaandam, a cruise ship in the Holland America Line, they have access to nine levels of elegant lodgings, entertainment and fine dining.

It turned out some of them had contracted coronavirus: On Friday, an airplane carrying more than 300 Americans and Canadians from the ship landed in Atlanta. The cruises will be suspended until April 3, the Italian company announced on Tuesday (March 10). Including ships that are part of ongoing, fleet-wide refurbishment projects such as Royal Caribbean's "Amplification" program and Celebrity's "Revolution" program.
