Princess kicks off summer 2026 with a winning move: the cruise line has secured, through IMG, the rights to broadcast all matches of the FIFA World Cup 26™ across its 17 ships. Fans can now book their dream summer vacations without fear of missing a single moment as their favorite team competes on the world's biggest football stage.
From June 11 to July 19, 2026, all 104 matches, played in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, will be available across the entire fleet. Passengers can watch every goal and every decisive moment on their cabin televisions via Sport 24's dedicated channels, or enjoy a selection of matches on giant screens on the outside decks.
“The FIFA World Cup™ is one of the most-watched global events, and our guests shouldn’t have to choose between exploring the world and watching the best teams compete,” said Lorna Warren, Vice President of Hotel Operations and Guest Experience at Princess. “By bringing live coverage to all 17 of our ships, we’re ensuring that fans can discover incredible destinations and cheer on every match, whether they’re soaking up the Caribbean sun, cruising the Mediterranean coast, or sailing among glaciers in Alaska.”.
