Sports Crazy? Well you won’t miss any of the action if you are on a cruise with P&O or Cunard this year.
Whether it’s Andy Murray defending his Wimbledon title or Roy Hodgson’s England team playing in the World Cup in Brazil, live coverage will be screened on board across the two fleets of ships.
All coverage will be shown in public areas on board, starting with the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi next month. The second half of the Premier League season will feature ahead of the FIFA World Cup in June and July. German Bundesliga matches will be shown together with Formula 1 motor racing, the Australian French and US Open tennis tournaments and golf’s Ryder Cup, Open Championship and US Open.
Live coverage will be available to all P&O Cruises and Cunard passengers on Sport 24, and is satellite dependent. Chief commercial officer Gerard Tempest said: “We are delighted to be able to include coverage of these major sporting events on board.
“We don’t want passengers to miss out on any of the excitement of the games by taking a cruise holiday – and now they won’t. Besides, I can’t think of a better way to watch the World Cup, or see Murray serve to retain his Wimbledon title, than sipping a mojito in the Med!”
