VALENCIA, Calif., Sept. 18,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Cunard has announced it is
rolling out a new Wi-Fi service on board as it launches SpaceX's
Starlink across its fleet.
Starlink, the leader in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite
technology, will provide guests with greater capacity across Cunard
ships, allowing for sharing photos and videos, streaming films, and
enjoying other content on board with a more reliable Wi-Fi
connection at even faster speeds.
The roll-out of Starlink aboard Cunard Queens began in
June 2023, with the service due to be
available in both public spaces and staterooms on Queen Mary 2, Queen
Victoria, and Queen Elizabeth
by the end of 2023.
Cunard's newest ship, Queen Anne,
will launch with the service in May
2024.
Cunard President Katie McAlister
said: "Sharing unforgettable moments with friends and family
back at home is an important part of any holiday. Whether it's
uploading a picture of a sunset as you sail away from a newly
discovered destination or catching up with the news, live events,
or content from home, Starlink will make it even easier for our
guests and colleagues to stay connected."
Starlink vice president of commercial sales Jonathan Hofeller 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 in the
world."
