Costa Crociere SpA is offering uninjured passengers euro11,000 ($14,460)
apiece to compensate them for lost baggage and psychological trauma
after its cruise ship ran aground and capsized off Tuscany when the
captain deviated from his route.
The agreement was announced Friday after negotiations between Costa representatives and Italian consumer groups who say they represent 3,206 cruise ship passengers from 61 countries who suffered no physical harm when the Costa Concordia hit a reef on Jan. 13. Individuals are free to reject the offer and pursue their own lawsuits against the company if they choose.
