Elderly Couple Wins Lawsuit After Arctic Cruise Was Canceled Over the Cold
A couple in their 70s won a lawsuit against a cruise operator after they successfully argued the company was in the wrong to cancel their Arctic cruise over cold weather without returning their money.
The couple said they were suing because their cruise of a lifetime, billed as a voyage through the “Northwest Passage—in the Wake of the Great Explorers,” was hardly that.
Instead of sailing through the treacherous waters of Arctic Canada, the couple said they mostly just cruised the coast of Greenland, with some time at Baffin Island. The cruise operator, Reader Offers, offered apologies and cited abnormally cold weather and ice as the reason the trip couldn’t go on as planned but offered no compensation for the letdown.
