Incidents

2010 accident

On 14 March 2010, as Seven Seas Voyager sailed out of Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong, it collided with the stern of a Star Ferry, Twinkling Star, and caused minor damage to the ferry. No one was injured.

2013 incident

On 3 February 2013, 24-year-old Jackie Kastrinelis, of Groveland, Massachusetts, was found dead inside her cabin on the Seven Seas Voyager in Darwin Harbour, Australia. She had been a crew member since 2011 and was the lead singer in the ship's musical show. She was reported to have suffered a head injury during a rehearsal the night before her death, and was given medication by a doctor on the ship. The last person to see her alive was a musician with whom she had been in a relationship, but had broken up with four months earlier. The cause of her death was officially ruled to be sudden unexplained death syndrome.

2018 pier collision

On the evening of September 25, 2018, the vessel was sailing from Civitavecchia when strong winds caused it to collide with a pier. The vessel remained in the port overnight for inspection. The damage was determined to be largely cosmetic and the vessel continued its itinerary although the incident caused it to miss the scheduled stop at Sorrento, Italy. Temporary cosmetic repairs were completed in Koeper, Croatia, before the cruise came to its scheduled conclusion in Venice, Italy.
