Celestyal Cruises to Broadcast FIFA World Cup Matches Live on Both Ships

Both vessels in the Celestyal fleet are set to broadcast live matches during the FIFA World Cup from June 11 to July 19, 2026. Guests aboard the Celestyal Journey can enjoy the games in various venues, including the Martini Lounge, Galazio Bar, and Halara Bar. For those on the Celestyal Discovery, matches will be screened at Café Nation and the Star Bar & Lounge.

Lee Haslett, Celestyal’s chief commercial officer, emphasized the importance of the World Cup as a unique event that fosters camaraderie. He mentioned that many guests would like to keep up with their teams while enjoying their cruise experience. Celestyal aims to enhance the onboard atmosphere by making the matches available for guests, enabling them to connect with fellow fans while exploring the Greek Islands, Adriatic, or Mediterranean.

Detailed information about the venues and match timings will be made available in each ship’s daily itinerary. Recently, Celestyal announced the cancellation of its Arabian Gulf season for winter 2026-27, opting instead for a Mediterranean deployment.
