Enhanced Internet Capabilities Will Offer
Elevated Connectivity and Experience on the Most Ultra-Luxury
Expedition Ships at Sea
SEATTLE, May 15, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Seabourn, the leader in ultra-luxury voyages
and expedition travel, has announced that its two purpose-built
expedition ships, Seabourn Venture and Seabourn
Pursuit, will be equipped with next generation Wi-Fi
connectivity with SpaceX's Starlink, the leader in Low Earth Orbit
(LEO) satellite technology. The upgraded technology will provide
Seabourn's expedition guests with faster service, greater
connectivity and more reliable Wi-Fi wherever Starlink's services
are available.
Seabourn Venture is the first ship in the Seabourn fleet
to offer Starlink's Wi-Fi technology beginning with its
May 12, 2023 voyage, just in time for
the ship's second Arctic season. The line's second expedition ship,
Seabourn Pursuit, will be equipped with the enhanced Wi-Fi
connectivity after it launches in the summer of 2023. Seabourn's
expedition ships will offer the best available Wi-Fi experience,
allowing guests to stay connected with loved ones as they explore
some of the most interesting and remote destinations in the
world.
"We are committed to providing the best ultra-luxury expedition
experiences at sea, and the Starlink partnership will offer a
significantly enhanced connectivity experience during our
expedition journeys," said Natalya
Leahy, president of Seabourn. "From the polar regions to
Australia and the South Pacific,
our guests will experience a more reliable connection, allowing
them to share those special moments and experiences with their
loved ones as they sail on Seabourn Venture and Seabourn
Pursuit."
"Starlink offers Internet capabilities and functionality to meet
growing service demands globally, and I am so pleased that guests
and crew members on both of our expedition ships will benefit from
this innovative technology," added Kathleen Erickson, Seabourn's vice president of
technology.
Beginning May 12, 2023, guests
sailing on Seabourn Venture will have access to the enhanced
Wi-Fi service on board from the Arctic to Antarctica. The ship will sail on two voyages
to British Isles and Ireland in
May before kicking off its second season in the Arctic. Between
June and August 2023, the ship will
sail on a series of 14- and 15-day voyages to Greenland and Iceland, as well as a 23-day adventure through
the Northwest Passage. The ship will then head down the West Coast
of the Americas before reaching Antarctica, where it will sail between
November 2023 and February 2024. In late February 2024, Seabourn Venture will cross
the Atlantic, sail up the West Coast of Africa and Europe to be in position for the 2024 Arctic
season.
