Cruise Ship Voyage Alerts for GI Illness

Disease Strategies developed the color-coded Cruising Healthy Voyage Alert system for GI Illness on cruise ships under the direction of Frank McAllan, MPH. Disease Strategies is an independent company, not affiliated with the CDC Vessel Sanitation Program, and the CDC neither approves nor sets the criteria for Cruising Healthy Voyage Alerts. However, all gastrointestinal illness data and ship information is provided by the VSP to Disease Strategies on a periodic basis.

Cruise Ship Voyage Red Alert for GI Illness

One criteria for Red Alert inclusion is having a GI incidence that exceeds the Cruising Healthy Annual GI Illness Index by at least 24 times and can be as much as 33 times. This median applies to all cruise ships that enter U.S. ports and participate in the CDC Vessel Sanitation Program.
