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. [4]

2013 incident

On 3 February 2013, Jackie Kastrinelis, of Groveland, Massachusetts, was found dead inside her cabin on the Seven Seas Voyager in Darwin Harbour, Australia. [5] The 24-year-old woman had been a crew member since 2011 and was the lead singer in the ship's musical show. Circumstances surrounding Jackie's death included a head injury the night before during a rehearsal, medication given by a doctor on the ship, and romantic relationships with a few crew members. The official reasoning behind the death of Jackie Kastrinelis was "sudden unexplained death syndrome".[ citation needed ] [6]

2018 collision

On the evening of September 25, 2018 the Seven Seas Voyager was sailing from the Italian port of Civitavecchia when strong winds caused the vessel to strike a pier. The vessel came to a halt shortly thereafter and remained tied up in the port overnight to assess damage. 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. [7]
