Indian cruise line Cordelia Cruises has selected remote wireless connectivity provider WMS to provide its cellular services for passengers, crew and operations on its ship, Empress.
The partnership will enable Cordelia Cruises to offer mobile connectivity to passengers and crew, allowing them to communicate and work during their cruise.
“This agreement has laid the groundwork for communications innovation for cruisers in India,” Jurgen Bailom, president and CEO of Cordelia Cruises. “As the country’s only premium cruise line, it is essential to enable connectivity through the best wireless network, services, and support available today. We truly appreciate the value and customer-centricity WMS delivers through this new partnership.”
WMS launched its first cruise ship wireless network in 2004, and now provides cellular services at sea to 25 cruise lines and more than 200 ships through more than 400 roaming partners.
“WMS is pleased that Cordelia selected us to partner as they quickly grow and cultivate the demand for cruise travel in India,” said Michael Abdul, chief sales and marketing officer for WMS. “We are dedicated to innovation and will bring Cordelia best-in-class connectivity technology for passengers and crew, as well as onboard revenue for ship operations.”
