But traveling does not mean that you would be safe. Escaping from our job and other stressful activities is just something that w
But returning this incident for a moment.Like the Titanic, the MV Explorer had next to no warning.The iceberg, or growler as it is called when in a submerged state,was invisible, it was dark at the time and the outside conditions belowfreezing. So the odds were heavily stacked against both ship andpassengers. The evacuation and subsequent abandonment of the ship washandled extremely well resulting in no loss of life at all and is acredit to the well organised and professional ship staff. But what ofthe passengers? With very little time to prepare, they had to leavemost, if not all, of their belongings onboard, brave the inhospitablepolar seas, and, though not uppermost in their minds, curtail theirholiday and return home.To be honest, this is a small price to pay for surviving such anordeal, but they will now be seeking some form of compensation fromboth the Tour operator and their travel insurance. This is such a good example on why travel insurance is so necessary when going on holiday. Most people tend to think about losing a bag or suffering a delay at the airport but travel insurancecovers so much more. The list is almost endless. Passengers will beeligible for reimbursement of the rest of their holiday by having tocurtail it short, any hospital costs from injuries sustained should becovered with repatriation included where necessary, personal belongingswill be covered, legal costs should also be covered for any subsequentlitigation and any lasting injury or death as a result could be coveredby the personal accident part of the policy. Thankfully, this type ofincident is rare but it does happen though the Tsunami in Indonesia andThailand in 2005 falls into this category as another example of whereit paid to have travel insurance. It wont stop the incident occurring but will significantly ease the distress and pain in the aftermath.So when deciding on purchasing travel insurance on your next trip, do think of the bigger picture rather than the loss on an ipod. Travel insurance is a bit like an iceberg. With an iceberg the damage is done by what you dont see, whilst travel insurance comes into its own in the sections that you dont normally read.
