The Rollout Plan: Starlink Across the Fleet Costa Cruises SpaceX’s Starlink Wi-Fi

Following the successful implementation on Costa Toscana, the innovative Starlink broadband service will be progressively extended to the rest of the Costa fleet. Costa Smeralda, the sister ship of Costa Toscana, will be the next to receive the upgrade. By December 2023, all ships in the Costa Cruises fleet are scheduled to be equipped with this cutting-edge technology.

The Impact of Starlink on Guest and Crew Experience

Giuseppe Carino, VP Guest Experience & Onboard Revenues of Costa Cruises, emphasized the company’s commitment to adopting innovative solutions that enhance onboard services and exceed guest and crew expectations. With the revolutionary capabilities of Starlink’s low-orbit satellites, ships will have access to high-speed, reliable internet connectivity like never before. This transformation aims to deliver an even better experience to guests and crew through a combination of different technologies, services, and broadband connections.

The Benefits of Starlink: Fast, Global, Enhanced

Starlink offers fast internet connection, global coverage to stay connected even in remote areas, and an enhanced experience for web surfing onboard. It allows guests to share their experiences in real time without any struggles. The benefits extend beyond guests. The new service will improve communication between ships and shore offices, optimizing various aspects of ship operations, and ensuring a smoother and more efficient cruise experience. The private use of the Internet by crew members will also be greatly improved, allowing them a more reliable and faster connection with loved ones back home or to access their social media.
