FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - The first class action lawsuit related to the coronavirus has been filed against a cruise line.

The suit, filed in Miami federal court Tuesday, is on behalf of passengers on board the Costa Luminosa.

The ship left Fort Lauderdale on March 5 for a 20-day cruise to France.

The complaint claims passengers were not made aware of the elevated risk of the virus before boarding, and many of them would have cancelled if they were told of the risk.

It also alleges that crew members mismanaged sick travelers on board the ship.

Costa Cruises released the following statement:

“Costa Crociere confirms that the case has been filed. According to its policy the Company does not comment on open judicial cases but places the utmost confidence in the Judicial Authorities.”
