Princess Cruises’ Summer of Sport

If you are craving a summer cruise but are worried about missing your favourite sporting teams play an important game, then fear not! Princess Cruises will be broadcasting the UK’s major sporting events on its ship, Sapphire Princess.

The cruise line has revealed that it will be screening sporting events in bar areas and at the top deck cinema, as part of a wider daily programme of on-board entertainment.

Get ready for kick off!

Sapphire Princess will be sailing a series of voyages to the Mediterranean and across northern Europe between May and October, where the events shown will include:

  • 2018 FIFA World Cup
  • Wimbledon Championships
  • International and Club Rugby

Tony Roberts, Vice President of Princess Cruises UK and Europe, said:

“We are pleased to announce we will be showing sporting events this summer to complement the extensive choice of entertainment options already available on-board.”

Sapphire Princess becomes sports fans’ number one

The 2,670-guest vessel looks set to become the sporting fans’ favourite with this line-up of live events on-board, ensuring they don’t miss out on their summer highlights while cruising. And, even if you aren’t a die-hard sporting fan, there is a wide selection of alternative options on-board to help you relax, from wine-tasting and luxury spa treatments to showings of box office films.

If you want to play sport rather than watch it, you could even hit the on-board basketball court to add a little friendly competition with fellow passengers.

This summer is set to be one to remember on-board Sapphire Princess; enjoying the atmosphere with a drink in hand and cheering along to your heroes as the world drifts by.

Can’t wait to experience Sapphire Princess and its super-summer-sporting timetable, beginning in May? Take a look at our Princess cruises and find your perfect spring sailing to enjoy some time on-board before the games begin! Call our Cruise Concierge team to book your holiday today!
