Global Eagle Entertainment Inc. (NASDAQ:ENT) (“Global Eagle” or
“Company”) has signed a multi-year strategic partnership agreement
with Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH) to enhance internet and
entertainment services across its Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL)
brand’s fleet of 14 ships.
Under the agreement, Global Eagle is implementing flexible,
tiered plans for Wi-Fi, texting and video, giving passengers more
choices. In the near future guests should be able to use their own
devices to access an integrated portal that includes TV
programming, on-demand movies, games, and special event telecasts.
Global Eagle also expects to be able to monitor usage and
dynamically adjust bandwidth for each ship based on real-time
demand, ensuring a consistent quality of experience (QoE) at all
times.
“Under this new agreement with Global Eagle, we’re looking to
expand our onboard communication and entertainment experience for
our guests,” said Ross Henderson, NCL’s vice president of onboard
revenue. “In addition, Global Eagle’s portal will enable us to
manage our onboard revenue-producing services, entertainment and
information more efficiently.”
“This new partnership agreement with NCLH is a giant step toward
achieving our vision of delivering an unparalleled QoE in reliable
high-speed Wi-Fi and entertainment for people on the move, whether
on an airplane, cruise ship or luxury yacht,” said Ole Kristian
Sivertsen, president of Global Eagle’s cruise, ferry and yacht
services. “One of our key competitive advantages in the marketplace
is our ability to offer end users a QoE similar to what they get at
a luxury land resort.”
