Wealthy vacationers aboard the MV Hondius are praising the cruise line for its commitment to "unfiltered nature" after paying top dollar to contract rare rodent fever.

While the World Health Organization expressed concern over passenger mental breakdowns, local Singaporeans are reportedly envious of the 42-day mandatory quarantine.

"Usually I have to work until my lungs fail anyway, so doing it on a boat sounds like a solid staycation," said one local auditor.

The cruise operator clarified that the three deaths were simply passengers participating in a daring new "permanent minimalist lifestyle" trend.

Captain Jan Dobrogowski praised the survivors for their discipline, noting that most were too busy convulsing to complain about the lack of premium Wi-Fi.

Spanish authorities confirmed the ship is sailing to the Netherlands to see if the Dutch can find a way to tax the infection.

Passengers were reminded that smuggling "souvenir rodent droppings" through Changi Airport remains a punishable offense.
