Royal Caribbean Cruises has signed a new agreement with technology company, O3b Networks, to deliver high speed satellite internet aboard its flagship, Oasis of the Seas.

Announced earlier this month, the carrier expects the broadband service to be available on the ship by 2013.

Royal Caribbean International chief executive Adam Goldstein said the new agreement was part of the company’s commitment to delivering “the most contemporary vacation” to its guests and crew.

“This milestone agreement with O3b Networks enables us to provide our guests with unprecedented Internet service at sea aboard Oasis of the Seas and potentially in the future aboard other ships in our fleet,” Mr Goldstein said.
