Several major cruise lines are bringing the World Cup to their ships. Here’s where you can catch the action:

On Seabourn Cruises ultra-luxury ships, matches are available in The Observation Lounge, The Patio Grill, and The Club. It’s a relaxed way to follow the tournament and meet other supporters.
MSC Cruises will be showing the games at The Horizon Bar, The Lido Pool Deck, or The Atrium Lounge. These areas are the ideal spots for catching the action, whilst also enjoying the social vibe of the ship.
Guests on board P&O Cruises can see matches in the SkyDome, The Beach Club Pool Deck, and The Garden Lounge. Big games also appear in main entertainment spaces, so you have several options to keep up with the tournament.
Cunard will host matches in The Pavilion, Queens Room, and select dining venues. Fans can enjoy the biggest games in stylish, comfortable surroundings while connecting with other supporters.

Many people are blending their love for the game with a bucket list holiday, and cruise lines are ensuring it is easy to follow every match with big screens, cosy seating, and lively social areas throughout.
