Under the agreement, Global Eagle is implementing flexible, tiered plans for Wi-Fi, texting and video. In the near future guests should be able to use their own devices to access an integrated portal that includes TV programming, on-demand movies, games, and special event telecasts.
Global Eagle also expects to be able to monitor usage and dynamically adjust bandwidth for each ship based on real-time demand, ensuring a consistent quality of experience at all times.
'Under this new agreement with Global Eagle, we’re looking to expand our onboard communication and entertainment experience for our guests,' said Ross Henderson, NCL’s vp of onboard revenue. 'In addition, Global Eagle’s portal will enable us to manage our onboard revenue-producing services, entertainment and information more efficiently.'
Ole Kristian Sivertsen, president of Global Eagle’s cruise, ferry and yacht services, commented: 'This new partnership agreement with NCLH is a giant step toward achieving our vision of delivering an unparalleled quality of experience in reliable high-speed Wi-Fi and entertainment for people on the move, whether on an airplane, cruise ship or luxury yacht.'
