Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Seven-Seas-Splendor

On April 8, 2024, a dramatic medevac operation unfolded 500 kilometers off the coast of La Palma when the Spanish Air Force intervened to rescue a passenger suffering from a stroke aboard the luxury cruise ship 'Seven Seas Splendor.' Utilizing a state-of-the-art HD 21 Super Puma helicopter, based in Gran Canaria, the Air Force successfully hoisted the critically ill individual from the vessel. To ensure safe and efficient navigation, a D4 VIGMA (Maritime Surveillance) aircraft was also deployed, providing the helicopter with real-time wind information at altitude. Prior to the helicopter's arrival, the aircraft established communication with the cruise ship, facilitating precise maneuvering for the rescue operation. Even after radio contact was lost, the mission relied on satellite communications to maintain a continuous link with the Canary Islands Aeronautical Rescue Coordination Center, enabling real-time coordination throughout the mission. Throughout the operation, extensive collaboration occurred with La Palma Airport, which extended its operating hours to accommodate the emergency. Contact was also established with maritime rescue services, keeping them informed of both the ship's status and the patient's health needs during the operation. Once onboard, the patient was swiftly airlifted to La Palma Airport, where an ambulance from the Canary Islands Ambulance Service awaited for a rapid transfer to the island’s general hospital. This high-stakes rescue showcases the exceptional capabilities and responsiveness of Spanish emergency services at sea and on land.

On September 15, 2023, a new case of COVID-19 was confirmed among the crew of the luxury cruise ship, 'Seven Seas Splendor'. Currently docked in Ancona, Italy, this latest positive result has led to the implementation of quarantine measures for the ship's 120 crew members. This comes after a two-week quarantine that was previously enforced following the first two confirmed cases aboard. To prevent further spread of the virus, the affected crew members were relocated to a designated facility as a precautionary measure.

On May 6, 2020, Puerto Vallarta welcomed its 12th cruise ship, specifically docked for humanitarian purposes.

Upon arrival, key authorities, including representatives from International Health, Migration, Customs, and SENASICA, conducted thorough health checks to ensure the well-being of the crew members.
