Coral Expeditions logoCoral Expeditions, the famous Australian cruise line at the forefront of pioneering voyages, has unveiled a game-changing advancement in maritime connectivity. The company has successfully implemented state-of-the-art satellite and 4G broadband technology across its fleet of three expedition ships, bringing ultra-fast internet to guests and crew even in the most far-flung corners of the globe.

After a meticulous installation process spanning several months, Coral Expeditions completed the deployment of this cutting-edge satellite network in April. Rigorous testing in many remote locations, including the Kimberley coast, Scott and Ashmore Reefs, Raja Ampat and the Spice Islands, Komodo, and Cape York, proved the reliability and high-speed capabilities of the new system.

Mark Fifield, the esteemed Group General Manager of Coral Expeditions, expressed his satisfaction with this significant investment in meeting the evolving expectations of modern travellers. “This latest innovation allows us to fulfil the growing demand for ubiquitous broadband access,” he affirmed. The company’s upgraded network seamlessly integrates the state-of-the-art Starlink network with 4G connectivity wherever available, leveraging recent advancements in satellite technology and global coverage. Ship antennas, networking equipment, and service providers have all been replaced to guarantee an exceptional internet experience. Astoundingly, the internet speeds experienced on the ships even surpass those in their main office in Cairns. While acknowledging that marine internet access can never be flawless, Coral Expeditions is confident that its new service rivals the best internet offerings available on any ship.

As part of the enhanced service, Coral Expeditions will now provide complimentary standard Wi-Fi access to all guests and crew, ensuring seamless connectivity throughout their journey. Additionally, guests can purchase package upgrades, granting them access to higher bandwidth should they desire an even more immersive online experience.

Coral Expeditions, renowned for its commitment to immersive nature-based expeditions, operates 90 voyages yearly. These captivating adventures take travellers to Australia’s most iconic regions, including the Kimberley, Tasmania, the Great Barrier Reef, and the Southern Ocean.
