In 2023, Starlink will be free for guests on all cruises, providing connectivity and faster upload speeds almost everywhere American Cruise Lines sails.
American Queen Voyages
American Queen Voyages is also upgrading its fleet of seven ships to Starlink internet. Three of the company’s vessels already offer the service, and the company plans to test and install it on all ships before they take to the seas in 2023.
According to Cindy D’Aoust, president of American Queen Voyages, Starlink will provide guests and crew with the comforts of at-home Wi-Fi while at sea.
Windstar Cruises
Windstar Cruises announced in February that it plans to provide Starlink across most of its ships by mid-2023. The company operates six vessels, and one of them, Star Legend, will have Starlink this spring. Windstar plans to install the service on four other ships after this.
“When the ships are inside the service area, faster speeds will alleviate much of the frustration felt at peak use times,” Gregg Wagner, Windstar’s technology director, said.
