[Via Satellite 07-28-2014] MTN Communications has signed contracts for expanded and new services with three cruise ship operators. Pearl Seas Cruises, Lindblad Expeditions, and Windstar have selected MTN to enhance communications, crew welfare solutions, entertainment and corporate operations.

Pearl Seas Cruises chose MTN for its inaugural ship, the Pearl Mist, for connectivity on routes that tour the Americas and the Caribbean. Lindblad Expeditions’ fleet travels around all seven continents using six ships and four seasonal charters. Small-ship cruise line Windstar is renewing its 10-year agreement with MTN, and will add satellite services to its two newest ships, increasing the operator’s number of connected ships to six.
