Case Study

Ocean Voyager Cruise Lines Achieves Zero Norovirus Outbreaks

How CleanCut helped a major cruise line eliminate foodborne illness outbreaks across their 12-ship fleet

12 Ships
50,000+ Passengers/Month
100% Outbreak Prevention

The Challenge

Ocean Voyager Cruise Lines operates 12 luxury ships serving over 50,000 passengers monthly. The confined environment and large-scale food preparation created unique challenges:

  • 3 norovirus outbreaks in 18 months affecting 800+ passengers
  • CDC investigations and negative media coverage
  • $2.3M in compensation and lost bookings
  • Limited storage space for traditional cutting board inventory
  • Difficulty maintaining consistent sanitation across all galleys
