Operator Of Quarantined Ship To Refund Passengers


Operator of quarantined ship to refund passengers

The operator of a cruise ship hit by the coronavirus outbreak says it will refund passengers of the doomed voyage of the vessel now docked at Yokohama Port.

The Diamond Princess operator's website says it will refund cruise fees as well as the costs of transportation, including planes and trains, and hotels used before and after the voyage.

A passenger aboard the ship says a document issued by the company's president was distributed Sunday to inform passengers of the decision.

The president states in the document that the operating company hopes the reimbursement offer will help ease the stress of the passengers.
