Rejected petition Help get British Nationals off the Zaandam cruise
A call for Dominic Raab to rescue hundreds of British Nationals from the Zaandam cruise
More details
Nearly 200 British citizens are currently trapped in isolation in their cabin rooms on the Holland America cruise ship “Zaandam” off the coast of Ecuador. The Panamanian authorities have refused to let the Zaandam cruise linear pass through the Panama canal in Central America to attempt dock in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. At least 4 passengers have died.
All passegners are confined to their cabins. They are terrified, stressed and alone. We need government to commit to a plan to bring them home! Please help.
