American Cruise Lines announced on Wednesday it has added SpaceX’s Starlink Wi-Fi internet to its 2023 fleet of riverboats and small cruise ships.
Calling this a “major upgrade,” Starlink will offer high-speed internet for American Cruise Lines’ small ships nearly everywhere in the United States, from Alaska to the Florida Keys.
