We've got you covered with our Basic or Premier packages
Seven Seas Worldwide strongly recommends that you have some form of insurance cover: incidents can happen, and insurance is there to protect you against those unforeseen events. Our specialist insurance provides cover for both unaccompanied baggage and household belongings, which are generally not covered by traditional travel or household insurance policies.
