American Cruise Lines has installed StarLink.

American Cruise Lines has installed SpaceX founder Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet to its 2023 fleet of riverboats and small cruise ships.

The new service – which will be complimentary on all 2023 cruises – will ensure "seamless connectivity and faster upload speeds" nearly everywhere the company’s small ships operate.

Starlink is powered by a constellation of lower earth (LEO) satellites, that provide a connection to American ships and riverboats. 

 

In 2023, the line will introduce three more new ships, bringing its total fleet to 17 small vessels and riverboats to sail across 35 states.
