Royal Caribbean Begins Partnership with SpaceX’s Starlink to Offer Onboard Internet
Royal Caribbean Cruises will begin offering onboard internet via SpaceX’s Starlink satellite network, the cruise line company announced Tuesday.
The partnership is an effort to combat historically bad internet connectivity when cruise ships are at sea. The technology will be deployed across all Royal Caribbean-owned cruises beginning immediately, with installation scheduled to be completed early next year.
“This technology will provide game-changing internet connectivity onboard our ships,” Royal Caribbean CEO Jason Liberty said in a press release. “It will improve and enable more high-bandwidth activities like video streaming as well as activities like video calls.”
