'Invariably the ships are overcrowded and with so many passengers, hygiene levels can slip,' said John Oxford, professor of virology at Queen Mary University of London.

Deadly viruses, chickenpox outbreaks and mass cases of the runs: sometimes luxury cruise ship holidays are not the trips of a lifetime elderly passengers had hoped for.

Measles, E. coli, chickenpox and salmonella poisoning have all broken out on cruises in recent years. The vessel, moored in Yokohama, was by far the biggest coronavirus cluster outside the epicentre in China. Some have pointed the finger at Japan's authorities for how they handled the 14-day quarantine of hundreds of passengers.

US-based Chiron says that the image of thousands of people crammed together on board -- ripe conditions for the spread of illness -- is also wide of the mark. Chiron and other experts say that the cruise industry has successfully shrugged off past negative headlines and will quickly bounce back once the coronavirus passes.

"As with previous crises, there may be new-booking slowdowns as people get caught up in news cycles," said Chiron.
