'Upgrading our included Wi-Fi to Space X’s Starlink will enhance the guest and crew experience on all of our vessels,' AQV President Cindy D’Aoust said.

Starlink will be installed, tested and ready to use before vessels begin their 2023 seasons. American Queen, American Countess and Ocean Navigator have already undergone Starlink installation.

Partnership with FMC Global Sat 5G

Each vessel will have multiple maritime Starlink grade kits, providing significant bandwidth in partnership with the FMC Global Sat 5G solution, which will be an included amenity on all cruises.

'FMC’s innovative solutions integrated with Starlink’s connectivity enables applications and services that require low latency and significant Mbps of bandwidth that were, until now, considered unrealistic or cost-prohibitive,' FMC CEO Emmanuel Cotrel said. 'We are pleased to help provide American Queen Voyages passengers and crew with best-in-class Internet connectivity wherever they travel.'
