Wireless Maritime Services (WMS) and Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines have renewed their long-term agreement for cellular services onboard Fred. Olsen’s entire fleet of cruise ships. With this renewed partnership Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines guests and crew will continue to stay connected at sea with fast, reliable service available across the globe.
The United Kingdom based Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, known for smaller ships and personal service, recently acquired two ships to add to its fleet for a total of four cruise vessels. Wireless Maritime Services will exclusively provide cellular connectivity on all four ships – including the new Borealis and Bolette. The Borealis recently set sail in July out of Liverpool and the Bolette sailed from Dover in mid-August, with the remaining two other vessels scheduled to sail fourth quarter of 2021 and first quarter of 2022.
Damon Impett, Director of IT at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said, “We have worked with Wireless Maritime Services for six years, and value their support and service in providing cellular services aboard our fleet. Having good connectivity aboard our ships is not only vital for our own business operations, it also provides an invaluable resource to our guests and crew during their time at sea. We look forward to continuing our working relationship with WMS as we resume operations across the rest of our fleet.”
Michael Abdul, VP of Sales at Wireless Maritime Services added, “We are thrilled to continue our relationship with FOCL. Fred. Olsen has been a wonderful partner to work with and we look forward to providing excellent onboard connectivity for their guests and crew in the coming years.”
