Starlink Prevails, Takes Over Cruise Line Internet
Cunard is improving Wi-Fi connectivity and bandwidth across the fleet with the rollout of SpaceX Starlink. The service will be available in both public spaces and cabins on most ships by the end of 2023. Starlink will provide guests with faster and more reliable Wi-Fi, allowing them to share photos and videos, stream films, and enjoy other content on board.
Starlink’s maritime system is improving Wi-Fi connectivity on cruise ships, both for passengers and crew. It is also enhancing communication between ships and land-based departments.
Starlink’s rollout began in December 2022 and is expected to be completed by the end of 2023. The service offers global coverage for boats of all sizes, with up to 220 Mbps download while at sea.
