Football fans attending the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar will be given the chance to stay on board luxury cruise liners during the tournament.
The cruise liners, which feature a combined capacity of 4,000 cabins, will act as floating hotels during the tournament. They will be berthed at Doha Port, giving fans a spectacular view of the West Bay skyline.
His Excellency Jassim Saif Ahmed Al Sulaiti, Minister of Transport and Communications, congratulated the SC for its collaboration with MSC and said significant progress had been made in accomplishing the country’s ambitious plans in the field of transport and communications.
Given a shortage of hotel accommodation, Qatar’s Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (what an impressive name) has signed an agreement with MSC Cruises to charter two cruise liners to accommodate spectators.
