After the last 28 passengers on board the MV Hondius disembarked in Tenerife, the cruise ship left Spain's Canary Islands and set sail for the Netherlands on Monday. The ship has 25 crew and two medical staff on board, and is also carrying the body of a German passenger who died during the cruise.

The World Health Organization says Hondius passengers will disembark in groups in Tenerife, Spain, before taking flights home amid hantavirus outbreak.

About 150 people will be flown home as the MV Hondius arrived near the port of Granadilla in Tenerife.
