Both Seabourn expedition ships – Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit – are to be equipped with high-speed internet.

The luxury expedition line confirmed it had joined several leading cruise operators which have turned to SpaceX’s Starlink to power its onboard internet.

Starting last week, Seabourn Venture (pictured) was fitted with the internet ahead of its second Arctic season.

Seabourn Pursuit will be equipped with the wi-fi after it launches later this year.

Seabourn President Natalya Leahy said: “We are committed to providing the best ultra-luxury expedition experiences at sea and the Starlink partnership will offer a significantly enhanced connectivity experience during our expedition journeys.

“From the polar regions to Australia and the South Pacific, our guests will experience a more reliable connection, allowing them to share those special moments with their loved ones as they sail on Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit.”
