Passengers aboard Fjord Line’s vessels are in for a treat as they can now enjoy high-quality live TV, movies, and series, track the ship’s route, and check the daily schedule through cabin TVs, screens in public spaces, or their mobile devices. Thanks to a cutting-edge entertainment-as-a-service solution from Maxicaster, Fjord Line ensures a seamless passenger experience with minimal effort from its onboard team.
Maxicaster, a pioneer in advanced video-centric Technology for vessels, offers a comprehensive onboard entertainment service that includes software, hardware, and content. Chief Operating Officer Andrew Brown explains, “Our onboard-entertainment-as-a-service proposition covers all aspects needed to launch and maintain a premium onboard entertainment platform. Customers select their desired services, and we handle the rest.”
Designed for ferry and expedition operators, as well as ship management companies, Maxicaster’s holistic service streamlines the process of offering a premium passenger experience with minimal resources and moving parts. With 10 modules ranging from live and catch-up TV to video on demand and mobile extensions, Maxicaster installs a server preloaded with all modules onto the customer’s ship, activating chosen services in just three days.
Operators have the flexibility to add modules over time to meet evolving guest demands, with the solution offered as a technical managed service in partnership with connectivity and entertainment provider Anuvu. This network-agnostic approach allows for easy scalability without additional investments in technology, ensuring a high-quality entertainment experience at all times.
Several passenger ship operators have already embraced Maxicaster’s solution, with ship management firm Salén transforming onboard entertainment with playout channels and live and VoD content, while Quark Expeditions offers a curated range of channels for cabin TVs and public screens. The possibilities with this cost-effective system are limitless.
In conclusion, Maxicaster’s innovative approach to onboard entertainment is reshaping the cruise industry, providing operators with a seamless, high-quality solution to meet the evolving needs of modern travelers.
