Aurora Expeditions gets high-speed Wi-Fi with Starlink

Aurora Expeditions has announced SpaceX high-speed Wi-Fi for its purpose-built ships, the Greg Mortimer and Sylvia Earle. 

The service has been implemented and is now available free of charge in all cabins and public spaces aboard the two vessels, the company announced Tuesday (Oct. 10). 

“Reliable and high-speed internet connectivity in the cruise industry has traditionally been a challenge, particularly for expedition operators in places like Antarctica and the Arctic,” said Michael Heath, CEO at Aurora Expeditions. “While our ships are designed to be a comfortable base camp for adventure and we encourage our passengers to get out and explore the natural environment as much as possible, we understand that staying connected is important to them. We’re thrilled to continue to offer cutting-edge technological innovations to meet the needs of our expeditions, and we have already received incredibly positive feedback regarding the onboard experience.”

For passengers looking to book with Aurora before Oct. 31, the expedition company has some money-saving offers to choose from across dozens of voyages, including air credits and no solo supplements.
