Saily eSIM Plans Now Cover Cruise Ships

Three days into a Caribbean cruise you might try to send a photo and nothing happens. Once a ship sails beyond 12 nautical miles from the coast it disconnects from land-based networks and switches to satellite infrastructure, so a regular eSIM plan—whether from Airalo, Holafly, or another provider—often won’t work.

The ship then offers its own Wi‑Fi package at whatever price it chooses, and many passengers pay because they have no alternative. Saily, the eSIM app from the NordVPN team, has launched dedicated cruise plans covering more than 200 vessels across Royal Caribbean Group, Carnival Corporation, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, MSC Cruises, Disney Cruise Line, Virgin Voyages, and P&O Cruises and Cunard Line.

Matas Cenys, Saily’s Head of Product, puts it this way: "Many travelers are surprised to learn that mobile connectivity works differently once a ship leaves port.
