ITIC APAC 2023 | Assistance challenges and solutions: Cruise assistance and repatriation options

Cruise lawyer Victoria Roy presented to an audience of travel insurance industry peers at ITIC APAC’s 2023 conference in June 2023.

Victoria gave her perspectives on cruise assistance and repatriation options, focusing on her specialist area of third party liability claims for cruise accidents.

In the session Victoria highlighted why travel insurers and emergency assistance providers are in an excellent position to educate and help injured cruise passengers following cruise ship accidents. She explained how a working knowledge of cruise accident compensation claims not only gives travel insurers a customer service edge but can also lead to recovery on claims.
Victoria explained how cruise accident compensation claims work, and what to look for when assessing whether an injured cruise passenger customer might have a claim.

The session is a must for travel insurers, especially customer facing claims staff and staff working in recoveries.
