Venezuela has quarantined a visiting cruise ship following an outbreak of swine flu on board.

More than 1,200 passengers and crew will be kept on board the Spanish-owned Ocean Dream, which has docked at the Venezuelan island of Margarita.

They were stopped from disembarking at previous stops in Barbados and Grenada after three crew members were diagnosed with the flu virus.
