Cruise Ship Accidents

Thousands of people choose to go on a cruise ship for their summer holiday, but unfortunately many have their holidays ruined by an injury or illness on board. We help people who have been injured or become ill through no fault of their own to make a holiday accident claim for compensation.

Injuries and illnesses on cruise ship


Some of the most frequently seen holiday injuries and illnesses that happen on cruise ships include:

• Slips, trips and falls
• Assault
• Food poisoning, e.g. Norwalk-like viruses, Salmonella
• Bacterial infection, e.g. Legionnaire's disease
• Accidents whilst on transfers or excursions

As well as injury and illness, those on cruise ships may be involved in other serious incidents that include:

• The sinking of a cruise ship
• Disappearance of individuals whilst on a cruise
• Sports or exercise injuries during on ship activities
• A ship crashing
• Passengers falling off the ship

If you have been injured or whilst on a cruise ship holiday for any of these reasons and you believe that your accident could have been foreseen and prevented, you may be entitled to make a holiday accident claim. Depending upon the circumstances of your accident, the claim will either be made against the tour operator with whom you booked the holiday or against the cruise ship company.
