The Norwegian Escape cruise ship arrived ahead of schedule due to a medical emergency involving a US male passenger who suffered a suspected cardiac arrest.

A Bermuda Maritime Operations Centre spokesperson said, “Monday 6th November, 4:15pm – Bermuda Radio received a telephone call from Meyer Agencies informing that the cruise ship Norwegian Escape, would be arriving earlier than their scheduled arrival time as they had a US male passenger in need of very urgent medical attention ashore.
