The Zaandam is now at least the third Carnival-owned ship to become the site of a coronavirus outbreak.
The company said in a statement that "four older guests have passed away on Zaandam," but did not specify whether they died of COVID-19. "No one has been off the ship since March 14 in Punta Arenas, Chile."
The ship departed Buenos Aires on March 7 for a voyage that was meant to end in Chile on March 21. While the ship was at sea, Holland America "made the decision to suspend its global cruise operations for 30 days and end its current cruises in progress as quickly as possible so guests could return home."
The CDC published a report earlier this week that said confirmed COVID-19 cases were traced back to at least 25 cruise ships around the world.
