Ambassador Cruise Line has partnered with Quvia to optimize Quality of Experience (QoE) for passengers and crew. Quvia uses AI technology to improve operational efficiency and high-quality, seamless connectivity across Ambassador’s fleet. This partnership will provide guests and crew with digital experiences from anywhere on the ship.
Since it was established, Ambassador Cruise Line has focused on the digital experiences of its guests. Quvia allows Ambassador Cruise Line to analyze fleet growth and demand for connectivity services and perform to company standards. Ambassador Cruise Line shows in its commitment to providing quality connectivity that it recognizes the need of today’s travelers for high-speed internet and seamless digital services to be provided to them anywhere at sea.
The Importance of Scalable Connectivity Management
Ambassador’s cruise lines are increasingly partnering with Quvia as cruise lines look to capital to manage their growing demand for onboard connectivity. In discussing the annual need for scalable, efficient demand management and service retention, Ryan Simpson, Head of Technology, Cruise Lines, remarked that prompt onboard customer service is a critical need. Simpson noted, particularly in consideration of the growing global cruise fleet, that the scalable, quantifiable management of demand is critical.
For example, Ambassador Cruise Line can manage and forecast bandwidth and demand to ensure that bandwidth is available to guests and crew, with the right amount of bandwidth at all times, through the partnership with Quvia and the predictive operational intelligence platform. Additionally, the cruise line can manage and forecast bandwidth and demand to ensure that bandwidth is available to guests and crew, with the right amount of bandwidth at all times. Moreover, the cruise line can manage and forecast bandwidth and demand to ensure that bandwidth is available to guests and crew, with the right amount of bandwidth at all times. This ability to forecast operational bandwidth and demand through predictive operational intelligence is paramount.
AI-Powered Tools for Overseeing Connectivity
Quvia’s AI-focused solutions for overseeing onboard connectivity are a first-of-its-kind offering. The platform offers predictive intelligence to assess traffic patterns, consumption, and network performance to enhance operational effectiveness. Essentially, operational effectiveness improves when consumption is aligned with the patterns of real-world usage. With Quvia’s Consumption-Based Management solution, Ambassador Cruise Line effectively constrains bandwidth consumption while maintaining high service levels.
This means guests will be able to fully access necessary digital services, including high-speed internet for streaming, video calls, and social media. Crew members will also have reliable and adequate connectivity to support operational functions. This uniquely integrates multiple operational functions to enhance crew and guest experiences while ensuring full bandwidth availability and service level expectations, especially during peak service hours.
Managing Demand and Balancing Guest Expectations
Cruise lines like Ambassador have to contend with increasing guest demand while trying to maintain operational realities for onboard connectivity. Cruise ships are limited by their network infrastructure and bandwidth, so consumption management across the fleet is necessary to maintain high Quality of Experience (QoE). Real-time data provided by Quvia’s platform is necessary to assist the Ambassador in effective onboard connectivity management.
As stated by Kidsan Barnes, Senior Vice President of Cruise and Ferry at Quvia, the platform provides aid in optimally balancing the trade-offs of managing capacity at sea with the exceptional experience for guests and crew. Quvia, by forecasting demand during ocean voyages, helps ambassadors optimize the use of resources so that both customer-facing and back-end operational applications sustain seamless performance, in spite of demand fluctuations.
The Influence of Predictive Intelligence on Fleet Operations
The cruise sector is growing, and so is the relevance of technology. The need for more sophisticated tools for managing operational connectivity seems necessary. With Quvia predictive intelligence, Ambassador Cruise Line is, for the first time, able to understand and analyze operational connectivity in real-time across the fleet. This helps ambassadors understand and analyze connectivity operational trends, as well as performance and usage trends, to arrive at better decisions concerning resource allocation and optimal distribution of bandwidth.
Ambassador also gains the ability to track performance over time, which helps to understand and control the monthly service levels to avoid overconsumption. This means the cruise line can provide guests a good connectivity experience, whether they are streaming, using apps, or communicating while at sea. This also means that service levels won’t be exceeded, which helps Ambassador avoid demand spikes and service issues. This allows the guests and crew to have a good experience with no service interruptions.
The Need for Advanced Digital Connectivity in the Cruise Industry
The partnership with Quvia shows Ambassador Cruise Line understands the growing need for connectivity in the cruise industry. Today’s travelers want seamless digital experiences and access to fast internet, and cruise lines are starting to provide this. With Quvia, Ambassador invests in industry-leading onboard connectivity, enabling guests to enjoy digital services that are comparable to those at home.
The modern cruise business is showing signs of embracing demand forecasting and planning for connectivity as an integral business function. Via Quvia’s platform, Ambassador is able to not only streamline operations but also add value to the guest experience, which is critical as the cruise line diversifies its fleet and new voyage offerings around the globe.
Conclusion: A Seamless Experience for Guests and Crew
As Ambassador Cruise Line grows, its partnership with Quvia will be instrumental in keeping its fleet connected and providing guests with hassle-free, high-level digital services. Using AI for demand forecasting and resource optimization, coupled with connectivity management, will help the cruise line stay on top of value and manage QoE across services for the fleet.
The future of cruising relies on technology for seamless experiences, and Ambassador’s use of Quvia’s platform proves to be promising. With predictive intelligence and consumption-based management, Ambassador Cruise Line is ready to deliver modern travelers’ expectations and connected cruise experiences. As the industry changes, technology will help shape the future of sea travel.
