NEW YORK — A luxury ocean cruise was halted Wednesday in Bermuda, leaving more than 1,000 passengers awaiting flights home, after tests confirmed traces of the Legionnaires’ disease bacteria in the ship’s water system.
The owners of the cruise ship Horizon planned to fly the passengers home at company expense. Investigators from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said they had found the bacteria in water samples from several places on the ship.
