Passenger Ships

Flawless connectivity for cruise liners, ferries and river cruise vessels

From the moment they board, guests expect the highest levels of service, from catering to entertainment. Whether cruising the Mediterranean, adventuring in the polar regions or travelling for business, they demand premium internet services onboard so they can stay in touch with family, friends and colleagues back home.

Seamless connectivity for passenger ships delivered by our THOR fleet ensures they will not be disappointed.

Connectivity at scale, no matter the size

The complexity and sheer size of modern cruise liners necessitate continual monitoring of all electronic systems onboard, and ship communications systems linked back to shore.

We can tailor our Anker service portfolio to support the higher speeds and larger bandwidths required by even the largest cruise ships carrying over 6,000 guests and crew.

Introducing ‘landline’ connectivity onboard

Our satellite fleet provides exceptional coverage, bandwidth and faster connectivity for cruise ships and ferries across all Pan-European routes. Combined with our XipLink service, it supports multiple simultaneous users and concurrent TCP sessions.

We ensure that while passengers are taking advantage of online facilities, crew continue to have constant access to critical systems, and emergency services.

VSAT connections to a world of adventure

Internal communications systems and sea-to-shore connectivity must be consistent and dependable. Backed up by 24/7 customer support, our services meet the requirements for connectivity for passenger ships of any vessel, with the flexibility to upgrade/downgrade as needed.

We support the operational needs of your crew while taking your guests’ QoE to the next level.
