Ship-to-Shore Connections

You may be off the grid, but you're not out of touch. While at sea, you can stay in touch with family, friends and colleagues by cell phone, Internet/Wi-Fi, phone or mail. Please read this section carefully to learn about your options and applicable charges.

Internet & Wi-Fi

Prepaid Internet packages can be purchased in incremental packages, based on the number of minutes you plan to use. Internet access on Azamara ships is available at In Touch on Deck 10, 24 hours a day, from the day of departure until 6:00 a.m. on debarkation day. Wi-Fi (Wireless Internet access) is also available through most of the ship. To take advantage of our wireless Internet service, you must bring your own laptop, which must have a wireless network card. Due to the nature of Internet access at sea, service interruptions may occur. View our internet packages here.

We also offer Cellular at Sea, a convenient, accessible, and affordable cruise mobile phone service with plans from AT&T and Verizon. For all other carriers, please click HERE. If your phone has eSIM capabilities, we also offer Cruise+, the only seamless mobile data service for your entire cruise at sea, in port, and at destinations all for one low price. For more information on Cruise+ click HERE.

For guests outside of North America it is recommended to check with your local mobile cell service provider as coverage and packages differ between countries.

The Internet service you’ll find on board via Wi-Fi and at eConnections is provided by a satellite connection. This connection can be affected by several factors that can interrupt or slow down Internet service on the ship. While natural features like Icelandic fjords are breathtaking to view, the high rock walls can block the satellite signal. This signal can also be blocked by large buildings when in port. Changing the ship’s course at sea can also cause temporary connection issues. The following tips will help you make the most of your time (and money) while online.

  • Connect at off-peak times: Increased users will limit bandwidth available on board. Try connecting to the Internet in the evening when fewer users will be online.
  • Avoid bandwidth-heavy services: Using social media to stay in touch doesn’t take up much bandwidth, but video streaming services can be a drain on the ship’s available bandwidth and cause connectivity issues for all on board.
  • Compose messages offline: Write emails or social media posts in a word processing or notepad application before going online. Once you’re connected, copy and paste the message to send quickly and easily.
  • Be patient: Our ships can only connect to one dedicated satellite to provide Internet service onboard. Because we don’t have the ability to hop to another satellite, any slow downs or disruptions in service won’t be remedied until the ship moves.
