one of the most advanced expedition ships in the world. Speedcast will provide

for staff and crew across cruise, ferry, commercial maritime, energy, and

weather conditions, but also services that satisfy the guests' demand for 
luxury and comfort," says Brent Horwitz, Speedcast's SVP of Cruise and Ferry. 
"Speedcast provides services to over 50% of ocean-going cruise ships globally 
and we are honored that Aurora Expedition's team has trusted us with such

importance of a fully-managed communications solution for our guests and crew," 
says Aurora Expeditions CIO, Marcel De Graaf. "Good connectivity is now an 
expectation, and especially when our guests are discovering new and exotic 
places with the Greg Mortimer, they want to instantly share their discoveries
