The pair - believed to be a man in his 70s and a woman in her 50s - were hit during a stopover while enjoying a Caribbean cruise, it was reported on Monday.
A government spokesman said: "We are aware of an incident involving two British tourists in Bridgetown, Barbados. We are providing consular assistance."
