SES will manage the joint offering, called "SES Cruise mPOWERED + Starlink," as a service that it says will provide high-speed, reliable internet service to cruise ships, regardless of whether they're clustered in port or far out at sea. PARIS – European satellite operator SES is teaming up with SpaceX's Starlink to offer a combined service to cruise operators, the companies announced on Wednesday. SpaceX has launched over 5,000 Starlink satellites to date and had over 1.5 million customers as of May. SES said it's in discussions with multiple initial cruise customers for the combined service, but declined to specify further. And the companies are also talking about other potential markets that would be a fit for the combined SES and Starlink service.
