Organisers charter two ships with combined 4,000 cabinsBoats will be berthed throughout the tournamentOnce it was a three-star bed and breakfast or a capacious pitch on a camp site. Now fans travelling to the
World Cup in Qatar are to be offered a very different experience after organisers confirmed they had chartered two cruise ships to serve as floating hotels in 2022.
The two vessels, hired from company MSC cruises, come with swimming pools, spas and a dinosaur playroom (for children). They also offer a combined capacity of 4,000 cabins. Rates are yet to be confirmed, although current MSC cruises run from £599 per person, and anyone hoping to experience life on the open waves will also be disappointed as both boats will be berthed throughout the tournament.
