The 17th edition of the UEFA European Championships comes to life aboard Princess Cruises ships sailing in and around Europe from 14 June to 14 July with watch parties across four ships – Sun Princess, Sky Princess, Regal Princess and Caribbean Princess.
The games will be screened on the 300-square foot, 69000-watt poolside giant TV screen with additional indoor venues available in the event of inclement weather.
Special food and beverage offerings also will be provided during the games, ranging from themed pizza and curated cocktails to nacho plates and beer buckets. For younger football fans, Princess Cruises’ mascot – Stanley the Bear – will be making special appearances, whilst Princess youth staff will be offering football-themed face painting.
UEFA-Euro themed entertainment will include poolside sport challenges with prizes to be won for football-based trivia questions and a specially curated pre-game playlist.
“Football fans cruising with Princess won’t have to worry about missing a single moment of the UEFA European Championship excitement. We know how important these matches are to our guests, and we’re thrilled to provide an exceptional viewing experience at sea, allowing them to enjoy the games with fellow fans while also savouring their cruise holiday” Eithne Williamson, vice president Princess Cruises UK & Europe said.
