Silversea: 100% internet access
Silversea Cruises has expanded wireless internet access to 100% coverage in all its four ships, the cruise line announced.
The move enables guests with Wi-Fi-enabled laptops and PDAs to surf the internet and check e-mails from the comfort of their suites as well as public areas.
“Today’s luxury travelers are often working professionals who travel with laptops and PDAs in tow and they appreciate being able to access the Internet from anywhere on the ship,” said Tim Rand, vice president of information technology and chief information officer. He added:
“This expanded Wi-Fi coverage is the perfect complement to the cellular phone service we also offer to help our guests stay in touch using their own cell phones even when our ships are sailing miles away from land.”
Through Silverseas’ global satellite system, guests have access to over 270 daily newspapers from a host of US and international cities, offered at a nominal fee. Also available: BBC, CNN, Fox News and ESPN (sports news and entertainment) are among complimentary in-suite TV channels.
Each Silversea ship also features Internet centers with state-of-the-art desktop computers and 17-inch flat screen monitors.
Pricing for Internet use on the ship’s computers is the same as for using personal laptops and includes a variety of rate plans.
