The Australian victims of the Whakaari/White Island eruption are considering taking legal action against White Island Tours.

The passengers and family members are suing the cruise operator, Royal Caribbean, for alleged negligence, breach of contract, and breach of Australian consumer law.

The law firm representing the victims is now exploring whether the lawsuit can be expanded to include White Island Tours.
