Celestyal to Show World Cup Matches Live Onboard
Celestyal will broadcast FIFA World Cup matches live across both ships in its fleet during the tournament, which runs from June 11 to July 19, 2026.
According to the cruise line, guests sailing onboard Celestyal Journey will be able to watch the games in several public venues, including the Martini Lounge, Galazio Bar and Halara Bar. On Celestyal Discovery, matches will be shown at Café Nation and the Star Bar & Lounge.
The World Cup is one of those rare events that brings people together, and we know many of our guests will want to follow their team while they are away,” said Lee Haslett, chief commercial officer at Celestyal.
“At Celestyal, we are all about creating unmissable experiences both at sea and ashore, so making the matches available in our public spaces is a natural addition to the onboard atmosphere. Whether guests are sailing through the Greek Islands, Adriatic or Mediterranean, they can enjoy their holiday, connect with fellow fans and still be part of the excitement of the tournament.”
Celestyal said full venue information and match schedules will be confirmed for each sailing through the ships’ daily programs.
The cruise line recently canceled its winter 2026-27 Arabian Gulf season and replaced it with a Mediterranean deployment.
