The company's two expedition ships, Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit, will be equipped with next-generation Wi-Fi connectivity powered by SpaceX's Starlink, a leader in low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite technology. This technology will provide guests with faster service, enhanced connectivity, and more reliable Wi-Fi wherever Starlink services are available.
Seabourn Venture will be the first ship in the Seabourn fleet to offer Starlink Wi-Fi technology, starting with its voyage on May 12, 2023. The line's second expedition ship, Seabourn Pursuit, will be equipped with the enhanced Wi-Fi connectivity after its launch in the summer of 2023.
“We are committed to providing the finest ultra-luxury expedition experiences at sea, and the partnership with Starlink will offer a significantly enhanced connectivity experience during our expedition voyages,” said Natalya Leahy, president of Seabourn.
Beginning May 12, 2023, guests sailing on the Seabourn Venture will have access to enhanced onboard Wi-Fi service from the Arctic to the Antarctic. The ship will make two voyages to the British Isles and Ireland in May before beginning its second Arctic season. Between June and August 2023, the ship will sail a series of 14- and 15-day voyages to Greenland and Iceland, as well as a 23-day Northwest Passage adventure. The ship will then cruise the west coast of the Americas before arriving in Antarctica, where it will sail from November 2023 to February 2024. In late February 2024, the Seabourn Venture will cross the Atlantic, sail along the west coast of Africa and Europe, and be in position for the 2024 Arctic season.
