MSC Cruises to Roll Out Starlink Fleetwide by May 2024

Two-thirds of MSC Cruises’ ships currently have SpaceX’s Starlink onboard connectivity, with the entire fleet scheduled to be fully equipped by May 2024!

Starlink offers faster internet speeds, improved wi-fi in cabins and public areas, decreased latency, and reduced operational costs for 15 out of the 22 ships in MSC’s fleet.

STARLINK ABOARD MSC CRUISES FLEET

  • The first ship to receive Starlink was MSC Magnifica in December 2022.
  • Starlink will enable MSC Cruises to meet the increasing bandwidth demands of passengers and crew while also ensuring the technical needs of the fleet are met.
  • Current ships with Starlink include MSC Divina, MSC Euribia, MSC Fantasia, and others.
  • MSC Opera and MSC World Europa will be added this month, with more ships planned to receive enhanced connectivity by summer 2024.
  •  EXPLORA I for sister company Explora Journeys is equipped with Starlink, and EXPLORA II will have this technology when it sets sail in August 2024.
