Oslo and Paris, 09\u00a0April 2024.\u00a0Marlink, the leading smart network and digital solutions company, is providing new capabilities to long-term customer TUI Cruises on its Mein Schiff fleet, augmenting its managed hybrid network solution with Starlink LEO connectivity.<\/p>\n
Marlink will install its Sealink NextGen network solution \u2013 combining low-latency LEO connectivity with global 4G\/5G and C\/Ku-band VSAT – on the combined fleet of six existing Mein Schiff vessels and two newbuildings.
