This solution offers full coverage and connectivity to the expedition cruise, combining LEO satellites from Eutelsat OneWeb, Starlink and Iridium, with GEO VSAT services, TV-RO and 5G networks from Marlink. This feeds the onboard ethernet/Wi-Fi network and creates a portal for customers. This enhances the scope of exploring remote islands or venturing into unexplored places.
The ship has a capacity of 144 passengers, focused on the nautical sector and luxury expeditions, and began its inaugural season in December 2023 with voyages to South America and Antarctica. Throughout the season, 32 additional trips will be made.
Itineraries include destinations such as Antarctica, the Atlantic Islands, Western Europe, Svalbard, Iceland, Greenland, the Canadian Arctic and South America. So, the solution to keep the ship and its passengers connected in these remote passengers connected in these remote and sometimes hostile and sometimes hostile latitudes, a hybrid network has been implemented by the company.
