Cruise ship turned away from Asia ports amid coronavirus fears will dock in Puerto Vallarta

Holland America Line said Tuesday it will bring the Westerdam cruise ship to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, instead of Juneau after it had been turned away from several Asian ports over the coronavirus.

The company, in a statement, said the decision on where to dock the Westerdam was reassessed after it announced plans to halt operation of its ships for 30 days amid port closures and travel restrictions surrounding COVID-19.

Holland America planned to dock the ship in Juneau for a few weeks starting around the end of March.
