Norwegian Cruise Line has followed Royal Caribbean in announcing that qualified lifeguards will be stationed at all family pools across its fleet.
The lifeguards will be trained and certified by the American Red Cross in lifesaving rescue measures.
They will monitor pools during scheduled pool hours, starting from this summer on the line’s four largest ships – the Escape, Getaway, Breakaway and Epic.
Lifeguards will be stationed on the remainder of the fleet by early next year.
"Norwegian has stationed pool monitors on our largest ships since 2015 and we are now taking further steps to ensure the safety of our youngest guests with the addition of certified lifeguards across our fleet," said Andy Stuart, president and chief executive officer.
"While parents are always the first line of supervision when it comes to water safety, we felt it was important to provide this added measure across our fleet."
In addition to uniformed lifeguards, Norwegian will also begin offering complimentary swim vests for both adults and children on the line’s four largest ships. Parents can get the safety vests at the towel station on the ship’s pool deck during daytime hours.
