Windstar launched the new technology on Star Pride during a recent Caribbean voyage and plans to implement Starlink across most of its global fleet by mid-2023.

Star Legend will offer the service this spring, followed by Wind Surf, Wind Star and Star Breeze. Wind Spirit will activate the new technology as soon as it’s available in French Polynesia.

Currently, all Windstar Cruises use geostationary satellite service, Anuvu, for internet services. The addition of Starlink technology will amplify Anuvu, delivering more reliable and faster internet to Windstar’s guests.

"I am thrilled to be working with Anuvu and Starlink to offer our guests the latest in satellite technology," said Gregg Wagner, technology director for Windstar Cruises.

"When the ships are inside the service area, faster speeds will alleviate much of the frustration felt at peak use times."

Windstar Cruises follows Royal Caribbean, Carnival Corporation and American Cruise Lines in installing the software.
