Ponant Cruises WiFi Packages

Ponant Cruises provides free, unlimited Wi-Fi access throughout its entire fleet of ships. The service is powered by the Starlink satellite network to offer high-speed internet, even in remote regions of the world.

PONANT connects you everywhere in the world with the Starlink network. Every PONANT guest can now access the Starlink network. By complementing the existing service with Starlink, provided by Marlink, PONANT ensures you quality WiFi access to the internet, regardless of the location and conditions. This free service helps enhance your onboard experience, while improving operations and navigation.

• Limitations: While the service is high-speed and generally reliable, a common user experience note is that only one device can be active on the internet at any given time per passenger login. You must log off one device before connecting with another.

About Starlink

Connecting via Starlink allows you to access the internet, stay in touch with your loved ones, and share your travel memories at any time, without changing your connection habits.

Operated by Space X and provided by Marlink, the Starlink constellation consists of 6,000 satellites deployed in low Earth orbit for faster connections and reduced latency. The Starlink network increases the available bandwidth and geographical coverage compared to the main VSAT network operated via geostationary satellites. The collaboration between the ship's gateway, the technical team, and the onshore teams is seamless and ensures better navigation. The entire fleet has been gradually equipped throughout the year 2023.

• Included for free: Access to the Starlink Wi-Fi is complimentary for all guests.
• Ship-wide availability: The service is available in both private cabins and all public areas on board.
• Improved connectivity: The use of Starlink provides faster and more reliable internet service than previous systems, which was a challenge on expedition ships.
• Technology: Starlink uses a network of satellites to provide internet access, which is particularly useful over remote ocean areas.
