Since the early hours of the morning, the press gathered at Granadilla port, anticipating the cruise ship's arrival. The situation had been a subject of debate, with local authorities initially denying the vessel's anchoring in Tenerife waters.

The arrival of the MV Hondius occurs in a context of concern, as an outbreak of hantavirus had been reported on board. This circumstance has led to the presence of ministers and other authorities at the port, closely supervising the disembarkation operation and health measures.

Despite the initial refusal from regional authorities, a higher resolution ultimately allowed the vessel to dock. Passengers are now awaiting disembarkation and, in many cases, repatriation to their home countries, bringing an end to a voyage marked by uncertainty.
