The operator of the MV Hondius and the World Health Organization say the victims include a husband and wife from the Netherlands and a German national.
Three others are seriously ill, including a British man who tested positive for the disease.
The ship is currently on lockdown off the coast of West Africa with nearly 150 people on board, including 17 Americans.
One of those, travel blogger Jake Rosmarin, says passengers are anxious and want answers.
JAKE ROSMARIN, Passenger: We're not just a story.
We're not just headlines.
We're people, people with families, with lives, with people waiting for us at home.
There's a lot of uncertainty.
And that's the hardest part.
AMNA NAWAZ: The ship asked for assistance today from officials in Cape Verde, but so far no one has been allowed to disembark.
Hantavirus is typically carried by rodents and is not easily transferred between humans.
The World Health Organization said today that the risk to the wider public remains low.
Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani is in stable but critical condition in a Florida hospital as he recovers from pneumonia.
His spokesperson, Ted Goodman, wrote on social media today that the 81-year-old was placed on a ventilator but -- quote -- "He is now breathing on his own with his family and primary medical provider at his side."
Goodman says Giuliani's condition was made worse by his exposure to dust and toxins at Ground Zero after the September 11 attacks.
Giuliani won worldwide acclaim for his handling of that crisis, but has since been mired in legal and financial troubles.
In Oklahoma, authorities are searching for suspects in a mass shooting that left at least 23 people injured.
Police say it happened during a party last night near Arcadia Lake.
It's a popular swimming and boating spot north of Oklahoma City.
A local hospital says three of the victims are in critical condition.
It's unclear how many of the injured were shot or suffered other injuries.
The police say there is no ongoing threat to the public.
Investigators from the National Transportation and Safety Board are on scene to interview the flight crew about what led to a United jet clipping a delivery truck and a light pole on its descent into Newark Airport.
Harrowing dashcam video from inside the bakery truck showed the moment of yesterday's collision.
The truck driver miraculously had only minor injuries.
None of the 231 people aboard the plane were hurt.
Aviation experts say the passenger jet narrowly avoided a catastrophic crash on the New Jersey Turnpike by mere feet.
United says the pilots of the plane have been put on leave while the accident is investigated.
In Germany, officials say at least two people were killed today when a car plowed through a pedestrian zone in the eastern city of Leipzig.
Another three people were seriously injured and are being treated in area hospitals.
The city's mayor says it's believed to be a deliberate rampage, though authorities are still looking for a motive.
Police say the 33-year-old driver is a German citizen who stopped the car himself and didn't resist arrest.
Investigators believe he acted alone.
The suspect is being held on suspicion of murder and attempted murder.
On Wall Street today, stocks eased back from their recent highs amid the latest concerns over rising oil prices.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 550 points, or more than 1 percent.
The Nasdaq slipped nearly 50 points.
The S&P 500 also ended the day in the red.
And a handful of marquee names in the media landscape are among the latest Pulitzer Prize winners announced this afternoon.
The Washington Post won the Public Service Award for its reporting on the Trump administration's changes to federal agencies.
The Associated Press won for international reporting for its look into mass surveillance as a tool in China.
Reuters was honored for its national coverage of President Trump's use of executive power.
In the meantime, The Minnesota Star Tribune won for its reporting on a local shooting at a Catholic school that killed two children and wounded 17.
And Julie Brown of The Miami Herald received a special citation for her reporting nearly a decade ago on Jeffrey Epstein.
And iconic New York Yankees broadcaster John Sterling has died.
Across more than 35 seasons, Sterling called some 5,600 games, including the postseason.
That included a streak of more than 5,000 consecutive games.
Sterling was known for his theatrical style and his trademark home run calls.
JOHN STERLING, New York Yankees Broadcaster: Swung on and hit high in the air to deep right.
That ball is high.
It is far.
It is gone!
(CHEERING) JOHN STERLING: Bernie goes boom!
AMNA NAWAZ: He would add a tailored phrase for each hitter, like, "It's an A-bomb from A-Rod" for Alex Rodriguez and "All rise, here comes the Judge" for Aaron Judge.
Sterling retired in 2024 and underwent heart surgery this past winter.
John Sterling was 87 years old.
