Royal Caribbean

The company expects all ships to have Starlink by the end of the first quarter of 2023. Royal Caribbean performed a trial of Starlink on one of its ships, Freedom of the Seas, and was impressed enough to adopt the service across its entire fleet.

“This technology will provide game-changing internet connectivity onboard our ships, enhancing the cruise experience for guests and crew alike,” Royal Caribbean Group CEO and president Jason Liberty said in the statement. “It will improve and enable more high-bandwidth activities like video streaming as well as activities like video calls.”

American Cruise Lines

American Cruise Lines announced in January last year that it would add Starlink to its fleet of riverboats and small cruise ships in 2023.

 The company tested the service in 2022 and received rave reviews from guests.
