[Via Satellite 05-06-2016] EMC has entered a long-term strategic agreement with Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings to deliver a faster Internet experience and premium entertainment over satellite. All brands in Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings’ portfolio will have immediate access to EMC’s connectivity, which enables Web, entertainment and multimedia access.

“With the addition of new hardware, combined with the significant increase in satellite bandwidth, shoreside connectivity and EMC’s SpeedNet, we have moved beyond the decades-old problem of slow data speeds from satellite, to deliver a much more efficient and faster Internet experience for our guests,” said Ross Henderson, vice president of onboard revenue at Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings.
