What about injuries occurring on a cruise ship's shore side excursions?
Although shore side excursions may be purchased through the cruise line carrier, the passenger ticket generally limits liability in writing for passenger injuries on shore side excursions and the ticket may specify that the cruise line is acting as the agent for the shore side tour operator. In most cases where injuries occur, the claim can be brought only against the shore side operator and not the cruise line. Note, that on certain cruises the cruise will visit islands owned by the cruise line itself, under these circumstances the cruise line is held liable for injuries occurring on those islands.
