Bill overview
The Safeguarding American Tourism Act modifies certain regulations affecting cruise ships operating in the United States. Specifically, it exempts large cruise ships with 800 or more passenger berths from specific requirements under the Passenger Vessel Safety Act (PVSA) and the Jones Act. The bill also adjusts rules regarding crewmen’s ability to temporarily land in the U.S. while on cruise ships, allowing for greater flexibility in determining their departure intentions. It clarifies that these exemptions do not apply to vessels traveling between U.S. ports subject to coastwise laws.
