Guests sailing Resorts World Cruises will receive a huge boost to
their onboard connectivity thanks to a suite of personalised digital
services which the developers say will provide “the next-level of guest
experience at sea”.
Resorts World Cruises is the first cruise line in Asia to deploy the
new integrated offering, SES Cruise mPOWERED + Starlink PRO Service,
enabling those onboard flagship Genting Dream to enjoy power-connected
applications across the ship’s onboard accommodations.
The are also plans to instal the service on the Resorts World One cruise ship.
Michael Goh, president of Resorts World Cruises, said, “In this
digital age, state-of-the-art connectivity is at the heart of many
vacationers. As such, we are delighted to engage SES to pioneer
connected experiences at sea for the cruise market, whilst also making
the most of this connectivity to optimise our operations.”
Launched in 2023, SES Cruise mPOWERED + Starlink PRO is a fully
integrated end-to-end service which combines SES’ Medium Earth Orbit
(MEO) and Starlink’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite coverage to provide
unmatched connectivity of up to 1.5Gbps for the ship to meet the needs
of both passengers and crew, wherever in the world they are sailing.
“Reliable high-speed connectivity is an essential enabler for Resorts
World Cruises’ ambition of redefining cruising,” said Simon Maher,
global head of maritime cruise at SES.
