Understanding the main drivers of sustained outbreaks is critical for evaluating the effectiveness of preventive interventions such as the isolation of infected individuals.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We analysed a line-list of 121 cases from a norovirus outbreak on a cruise visiting Mediterranean ports (cumulative incidence among passengers 9.7%). We used a Bayesian inference model to reconstruct likely transmission chains, taking into account different transmission settings and the isolation of cases after diagnosis. We then calibrated a branching process model to simulate alternative isolation scenarios and estimate their effectiveness in reducing transmission.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Reconstructed transmission chains revealed a high heterogeneity in individual transmission, with 57% (95% CrI: 48%-65%) of secondary cases caused by 10% of infected individuals (here termed 'superspreaders'). Superspreaders exhibited longer diagnostic delays (mean 83 hours, 95% CrI: 70-96 hours) compared to other infectors (mean 47 hours, 95% CrI: 44-50 hours) and a halved frequency of vomiting and diarrhoea episodes. The 72-hour isolation protocol implemented during the outbreak averted 71% of potential cases compared to a no-intervention scenario, halving the effective reproduction number from 9.8 (95%CrI of the mean: 7.1-12.7) to 4.9 (95%CrI: 3.0-7.1). Reducing diagnostic delays further reduced the effective reproduction number, resulting in lower case numbers and probability of sustained outbreaks.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Timely diagnosis and isolation have a remarkable impact on norovirus containment on cruise ship outbreaks.
