The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released a concerning report listing the top 10 dirtiest cruise ships of 2024, following health inspections conducted on a total of 114 vessels. These inspections have revealed alarming levels of unhygienic conditions, including the presence of sludge, maggots, and various other health hazards aboard certain ships.

Intended to offer tourists a relaxing and enjoyable experience, these vessels instead showcased severe hygiene issues that could potentially lead to disease outbreaks. The CDC has emphasized the importance of these inspections, advising travelers to thoroughly review a ship's health inspection record before making a cruise reservation. Such precautions are vital to ensuring travelers' safety and well-being, helping them avoid any unpleasant surprises during their vacations.
The findings stem from the CDC's Vessel Sanitation Program, which evaluates cruise ships on a cleanliness scale ranging from 0 to 100. This program aims to prevent gastrointestinal illnesses on cruise ships. Among the inspected vessels, ten ships received scores lower than 89, with scores of 85 or below deemed "not satisfactory."
Cruising involves exposure to new environments and large numbers of people, which can heighten the risk of illness from contaminated food and water, as well as person-to-person contact. The CDC is dedicated to assisting the cruise industry in preventing and controlling gastrointestinal (GI) illnesses, underscoring the need for improved sanitation practices on board to protect passengers.
As concerns mount over the cleanliness of cruise ships, travelers are urged to prioritize their health and safety by being informed about the conditions of their chosen vessels.
