Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings to Offer Starlink High-Speed Internet On Board Fleet
06 Abril 2023 - 10:00AM
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (the “Company” or "NCLH")
(NYSE: NCLH), a leading global cruise company which operates the
Norwegian Cruise Line (“NCL”), Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven
Seas Cruises brands, today announced its plan to improve
connectivity for guests and crew at sea by offering SpaceX’s
Starlink high-speed internet on its ships. Using advanced low earth
orbit satellites, Starlink delivers industry leading broadband
internet connectivity which will improve the capacity, speed and
reliability of internet on board. The Company is currently testing
Starlink, beginning with Norwegian Breakaway, with the intent to
rollout this game-changing technology across its entire world class
fleet in a phased manner.
“We are thrilled to offer Starlink on board our
ships to improve internet connectivity at sea. This initiative is a
testament to our continuous quest to find new and innovative ways
to enhance the experience for both guests and crew while sailing on
our award-winning brands,” said Harry Sommer, president and
CEO-elect of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. “Ensuring that
this technology meets our high standards of excellence for our
guests is incredibly important to us, which is why we are
introducing this cutting-edge technology across our fleet in a
phased manner. Once deployed, guests and crew will have a faster
and more reliable method to stay connected with friends and family
including by sharing in real-time the incredible memories they
create while at sea.”
If trials are successful, the Company is
targeting to equip 7 additional vessels with Starlink by year-end,
including all three of the Company’s exciting new additions this
year, Oceania Cruises’ Vista, Norwegian Viva and Regent’s Seven
Seas Grandeur. A comprehensive rollout plan is under development
and details regarding timeline and availability on specific ships
will be communicated once finalized. In addition to enhancing the
guest and crew experience, the extra bandwidth will also allow for
more flexibility for onboard services and improve the ship-to-shore
connection for operational needs.
