The last passengers have left the hantavirus-hit cruise ship, as authorities confirmed three new positive cases linked to the deadly outbreak, BBC reported. 

The MV Hondius departed Tenerife for the Netherlands on Monday after its final six passengers - four Australians, one Briton and one New Zealander - and some crew members disembarked.

Three passengers have died after travelling on the ship, two of whom were confirmed to have had the virus.
