Cunard is implementing a new Wi-Fi service in tandem with a fleetwide rollout of SpaceX’s Starlink.

“The roll-out of Starlink aboard Cunard Queens began in June 2023, with the service due to be available in both public spaces and staterooms on Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, and Queen Elizabeth by the end of 2023,” Cunard said.

Queen Anne, which is set to debut early next year, is scheduled to add Starlink service in May 2024.

“Whether it’s uploading a picture of a sunset as you sail away from a newly discovered destination or catching up with the news, live events, or content from home, Starlink will make it even easier for our guests and colleagues to stay connected,” said Cunard President Katie McAlister.

Added Starlink Vice President of Commercial Sales Jonathan Hofeller: “High-speed Internet is critical to our modern lifestyle both at home and when traveling. Were excited that Cunard guests and crew will benefit from an improved Wi-Fi service on board wherever they are in the world."
