Celestyal announced that it will broadcast FIFA World Cup matches live on both of its ships throughout this summer. The matches will be available for viewing in the common areas of the Celestyal Discovery and Celestyal Journey vessels.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup will take place from June 11 to July 19, 2026, in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The matches will be broadcast in the Café Nation areas on both ships. Additionally, on the Celestyal Journey, they will also be shown on screens in the Martini Lounge, Galazio Bar, and Halara Bar. The areas where broadcasts will take place and the match times will be announced in the daily programs of the ships for each voyage.

Lee Haslett, Celestyal's Director of Commercial Operations, stated: 'The World Cup is one of the rare events that brings people together, and we know that many of our guests will want to follow their teams while on vacation. At Celestyal, we focus on providing unforgettable experiences both at sea and on land. Therefore, bringing match broadcasts to our common areas naturally contributes to the ship's atmosphere. Our guests can enjoy their holidays while traveling through the Greek Islands, the Adriatic, or the Mediterranean, meet with other football fans, and continue to experience the excitement of the tournament.'
