Royal Caribbean helps boost public Wi-Fi coverage in Juneau

Wednesday, 03 Sep, 2024 0

Royal Caribbean is partnering to bring Starlink internet access to popular Alaska cruise destination Juneau.

Royal Caribbean Group and Goldbelt Incorporated are teaming up for a pilot program to boost bandwidth in the downtown area.

Together, they plan to install 10 Starlink receivers at local businesses.

The first Starlink terminal is already live.

“As a person who lives in downtown, my internet was slow, and I know a lot of businesses and residents who had the same situation,” said McHugh Pierre, Goldbelt’s president and CEO.

“So, trying to figure out a way to add new capacity to the community was critical.”

The connection is public and free, allowing both cruise ship visitors and locals to use it.

It will ‘enhance the travel experience for residents and cruise guests alike’ says Preston Carnahan, of the Royal Caribbean Group.

“We have a collaborative tourism environment because everybody can work together,” McHugh Pierre added.

They said more Starlink receivers are dur to be installed over the coming weeks.

The pilot program will run through the remaining summer season this year and for the entirety of the 2025 cruising season.
