Anyone who books a cruise quickly asks themselves the question of a reliable and cost-effective Internet connection. On board in particular, there is a risk of high costs due to expensive ship WiFi or roaming. Here, the BuddySIM eSIM offers a smart solution for shore trips — flexible, inexpensive and can be used worldwide.

Does the eSIM also work on a ship or only on land during cruises?

Many travelers ask themselves: Can you use an eSIM on cruise ships? The answer is yes, but with limitations. An eSIM only works via the regular mobile network. However, during days at sea, a connection is only available via satellite Internet. (By the way, this is also the reason for shipping companies' high Internet prices) Why does an eSIM still make sense? When it comes to cruises, there are often many Stops ashore. In port cities or near the coast, the BuddySIM eSIM always offers a cheap alternative to staying online on the go without changing your SIM card every time.

Why an eSIM is the best choice for cruises:

  • Flexibility: With an eSIM, you don't have to change physical SIM cards every time you go ashore.
  • Affordable prices: Compared to expensive ship WiFi or roaming, the BuddySIM eSIM is a cheap alternative.
  • Ready for immediate use: Simply activate before you travel and go online in port.

Can customers use BuddySIM eSIMs on cruises?

Yes! BuddySIM eSIMs are the perfect solution for shore trips during your cruise. Simply install the eSIM before departure and activate it when you arrive at port. This allows you to use the local mobile network cost-effectively.
