CUNARD Line has announced the roll-out of SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service across its fleet.
Starlink will provide guests with greater bandwidth across Cunard ships, allowing for photo and video sharing, streaming films, and enjoying other content on board with a more reliable wi-fi connection at faster speeds.
The roll-out began in Jun, with the service to be available in both public spaces and staterooms on all three Cunard ships by the end of the year.
It will be available aboard Queen Elizabeth in time for her Australia season, which starts in Nov, and aboard the cruise line’s newest ship, Queen Anne, when she launches in May.
“Starlink will make it even easier for our guests and colleagues to stay connected,” Cunard President Katie McAlister said.
Jonathan Hofeller, Vice President Commercial Sales for Starlink, said, “high-speed internet is critical to our modern lifestyle both at home and when travelling”.
“We’re excited that Cunard guests and crew will benefit from an improved wi-fi service on board wherever they are.”
Meanwhile, the United Kingdom’s P&O Cruises is also rolling out Starlink across its fleet.
Britannia and Azura have introduced the service to the public spaces on board, and it will be available on Arvia, Iona, Ventura, Arcadia and Aurora in both public spaces and cabins by the end of the year. MS
