A cruise ship carrying dozens of victims of swine flu among its 5,000 passengers and crew has docked in the south of France, officials have said.Sixty crew members have so far been diagnosed with the H1N1 virus, while 70 of their colleagues were also showing signs of being infected, they added.
They will be treated on board the ship while it docks at Villefranche-sur-Mer.
On Thursday, officials said a 14-year-old girl infected with H1N1 had become France's first fatality from the virus.
However, they cautioned that it did not appear that her death, at a hospital in the north-western city of Brest, had been directly linked to the virus.
