Seabourn recently announced its two purpose-built expedition ships, Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit, will offer next-generation WiFi connectivity using SpaceX’s Starlink, a leader in Low Earth Orbit satellite technology. Expedition guests will enjoy faster service, greater connectivity and more reliable WiFi wherever Starlink services are available.

“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, 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.”

The Starlink WiFi technology is currently available on Seabourn Venture, and will debut on Seabourn Pursuitwhen it launches this summer. Seabourn Venture began its season May 12, sailing two voyages to the British Isles and Ireland last month before beginning its second season in the Arctic. June–August, it sails Greenland, Iceland and the Northwest Passage. It heads to the West Coast of the Americas before reaching Antarctica, November to February 2024.

“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, vice president of technology, Seabourn.
