The new internet access policy will apply to sailings in the Arctic and Antarctica with Hondius, Plancius, and Ortelius. 

1.5 GB allowance 

Upon boarding, passengers will receive an internet voucher, granting them access to a daily limit of 1.5 GB of free connectivity. These guest vouchers will be valid for the duration of the trip, with the allowance of 1.5 GB resetting daily. For passengers requiring additional internet availability, supplementary internet vouchers will be available to purchase on board.

Making voyages more accessible 

‘We're delighted to share this evolution of our onboard experience with our guests,’ remarked Corné Brouwers, chief information officer, Oceanwide Expeditions. ‘Staying connected with friends, family, and events back home is so important, and after thoroughly testing internet availability in both polar regions we decided now is the best time to provide this service for free to our guests.’ 

Brouwers added, ‘With this implementation, we aim to make our trips even more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.’
