Accident involving "Mein Schiff 3": Cruise cancelled after collision: What holidaymakers are entitled to
German autumn instead of Spanish sun: After the accident involving the "Mein Schiff 3", the holiday dreams of around 2,500 passengers have been shattered. A lawyer explains what rights you have in such a case.
Tui Cruises has cancelled a 20-day Canary Islands cruise on the "Mein Schiff 3" after the ship collided with container ships in Bremerhaven. The ship will undergo repairs, and passengers will not get to enjoy the Spanish sun as planned. According to lawyer Kay Rodegra, passengers are entitled to a full refund of the travel price, but do not have a legal claim to an equivalent replacement trip at a later date.
They may, however, be able to claim compensation for wasted holiday time if the travel company is found to be at fault.
