Princess Cruises Launches MedallionNet Max for Enhanced Wi-Fi

Princess Cruises has launched MedallionNet Max, an enhanced onboard Wi-Fi service for today’s tech-savvy travelers. The service will be exclusively available in the Princess Plus and Premier packages.

Princess Cruises is the only cruise operator utilizing all available bandwidth sources, including LEO (Starlink), MEO, GEO satellite constellations, and 5G terrestrial networks. To enhance the guest experience, Princess will now offer two tiers of Wi-Fi service: MedallionNet Classic and MedallionNet Max. MedallionNet Classic provides the same performance, reliability, and global coverage that guests enjoy, while MedallionNet Max offers the highest level of service with prioritized access to the best bandwidth available, typically delivered through Starlink.
