What happened
Norwegian Cruise Line notified guests on Feb. 12, 2026 that two passengers who sailed aboard its cruise ship Norwegian Encore (homeported in Miami) in December 2025 were later diagnosed with Legionnaires' disease, and said it was working with the CDC to investigate. Onboard Legionella testing of hot tubs, showers and faucets was negative as of the notice, and the cruise line said it was not known whether the passengers were exposed through the ship's water system or another source. This is a separate investigation from the 2026 Norwegian Prima cases.
