Holland America Line Provides Update on Fleetwide Installation of SpaceX’s Starlink

Holland America Line announced that more than half of its fleet has been updated with SpaceX’s Starlink internet service.
The cruise line first installed the next-generation technology on its Koningsdam ship, followed by Oosterdam, Volendam, Westerdam, Zaandam and Zuiderdam. Officials revealed Starlink would be installed on Holland America Line’s remaining five ships by mid-December.
Since being outfitted with the high-speed internet, the cruise line’s vessels have sailed through Alaska, the Mediterranean and Canada with positive guest and team member feedback on the performance of the Wi-Fi.
“Our goal is to continue keeping all guests connected to the internet to share their memorable experiences, and to allow our team members to stay in touch with their loved ones back home,” Holland America Line Vice President Kathleen Erickson said.
“It’s important we stay up to date with evolving technology to ensure the best experience for everyone stepping foot on our ships,” Erickson continued.
Last month, Cunard announced it would implement a new Wi-Fi service in tandem with a fleetwide rollout of Starlink. The service is due to be available in both public spaces and staterooms on Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, and Queen Elizabeth by the end of 2023.
In addition, Holland America Line finalized the installation of shore power capabilities on its entire 11-ship fleet in September. The process of converting its vessels to shore power started in 2006 on its four Vista Class vessels.
