FORT LAUDERDALE --
Silversea Cruises is installing WiFi hotspots around its four ships
and revamping its Internet centers with 17-inch flat-screen
monitors and new computers.
The "enhanced cyber
technology," as Silversea called it, was installed on the Silver
Shadow in August and will be installed onboard Silversea's three
other ships by the end of the year.
Maritime
Telecommunications Network is providing the satellite
technology.
Silversea said
passengers who bring their own wireless-enabled laptops can access
the Internet in the ships' forward observation lounge, the library,
the card room and the conference room.
In addition,
passengers will have access to 270 daily newspapers from around the
world for a "nominal fee," as well as access to the Fox News
channel on the in-suite TVs.
