VOIP over satelllite has huge latency issues. Add to this the fact that most cruise ship internet blocks voip. By the time that you factor in the overhead of a SSH tunnel or a VPN and I can't imagine that it would be a very legible call. If you are going to try it, I would try a G729 connection or better yet an IAX one.
