The Carnival Corporation-owned ultra-luxury travel brand Seabourn has revealed that its two new expedition ships - Seabourn Venture (2022) and Seabourn Pursuit (2023) will incorporate advanced Wi-Fi connectivity through SpaceX's Starlink - a leading provider of Low Earth Orbit satellite technology. The implementation of this upgraded technology will offer Seabourn's guests faster and more reliable Wi-Fi service, ensuring greater connectivity wherever Starlink's services are accessible.
Starting from May 12th, 2023, Seabourn Venture introduced Starlink's Wi-Fi technology, just in time for her second Arctic season. Following her launch in the summer of 2023, the line's second expedition ship, Seabourn Pursuit, will also be equipped with enhanced Wi-Fi connectivity.

Natalya Leahy, president of Seabourn said they were committed to providing the best ultra-luxury expedition experiences at sea, and the Starlink partnership would offer a significantly enhanced connectivity experience during their expedition journeys.
"From the polar regions to Australia and the South Pacific, our guests will experience a more reliable connection, allowing them to share those special moments and experiences with their loved ones as they sail on Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit."
Commencing May 12th, 2023, Seabourn Venture's guests benefit from the upgraded Wi-Fi service available on board, spanning from the Arctic region to Antarctica. The ship's itinerary includes two voyages to the British Isles and Ireland in May, marking the beginning of its second Arctic season.
From June to August 2023, Seabourn Venture will embark on a series of voyages lasting 14 to 15 days, taking passengers to captivating destinations such as Greenland and Iceland. Additionally, an exhilarating 23-day adventure through the Northwest Passage is part of the ship's schedule during this period.
Following this, the ship will journey down the West Coast of the Americas before reaching Antarctica, where it will operate voyages between November 2023 and February 2024. Towards the end of February 2024, Seabourn Venture will cross the Atlantic Ocean, and cruise up the West Coast of Africa and Europe, positioning herself for the 2024 Arctic season.
