Stay in touch with your loved ones!

The ships in the Hapag-Lloyd Cruises fleet are all equipped with the modern STARLINK satellite system, which provides you with a fast Internet connection on the high seas. This service is available to our guests free of charge for 60 minutes every day. You can use this time to write to your friends and family back home and share your latest pictures or surf the Internet. If you need more than an hour to tell all your stories, you are welcome to remain online for a surcharge.

Technical information

  • The transmission speed may fluctuate depending on the ship’s position.
  • Email, Internet and telephone connectivity depends on satellites and cannot always be guaranteed due to the weather and the ship’s position, in particular in extremely northerly and southerly cruising areas. In extreme regions, such as the Arctic and Antarctica, the Internet, email and telephone service may not be available on a daily basis due to satellite positioning.
  • Data-intensive services (such as Skype), streaming services (e.g. Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube), file-sharing platforms and download libraries (e.g. iTunes) cannot be used for technical reasons.
