PANAMA (Alliance News) - Carnival Corp. & PLC, the world's largest cruise company, Monday unveiled the cruise industry's first-of-its-kind hybrid wireless network, an enhanced high-speed service to eventually be rolled out to all 101 of its ships on all nine of its brands.
According to the company, this technology innovation is expected to revolutionise how millions of its passengers stay in touch during their cruise and generate even greater interest in cruise vacations, especially among the tech-savvy millennial generation.
Carnival's backbone connectivity network, known as WiFi@Sea, will integrate a combination of strategically located land-based antennas installed along cruise routes, Wi-Fi from a port connection and advanced satellites, thus forming an innovative network that is a first in the cruise industry on this scale.
