shamrockace Posted December 8, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 8, 2022 We recently booked a cruise by for Antarctica. They asked if I wanted the internet package. I would assume the internet would be poor in that area. Can anyone advise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitemare Posted December 8, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Might want to ask on the Princess board. When we were on Silversea in Antarctica nearly 5 years ago the internet was pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaisatsu Posted December 9, 2022 #3 Share Posted December 9, 2022 The peninsula is far enough north that it’s still in range of normal satellite coverage, so you should be getting the normal at-sea network speeds that you would on the same ship elsewhere in the world. The only time you see a major impact on connectivity is when you pass out of satellite range. I’m the south, that only happens well beyond the Antarctic Circle, so you’d likely only experience it on a Ross Sea expedition. It’s far more common in the Arctic, and cruise ships calling at Longyearbyen typically lose coverage from a day before to a day after a Svalbard visit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnia 432 Posted January 5, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 5, 2023 We have just returned from Antarctica, the internet was pretty much none existent from elephant island south. We got a refund from princess as the internet was unusable in Antarctic waters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
