The Westerdam cruise ship finally came into dock in Cambodia on Thursday after being turned away by several Asian and Pacific governments because of fears over the virus that spread from China.

No cases of the viral illness have been confirmed among its 1,455 passengers and 802 crew members, according to operator Holland America Line.

Thailand refused to allow the Westerdam to dock this week after it had already been turned away by the Philippines, Taiwan, Japan and Guam.

The Westerdam began its cruise in Singapore last month and its last stop before it was refused further landings was in Hong Kong.
