MSC Cruises to operate ‘floating’ hotels for FIFA 2022

Two MSC Cruises ships will operate as hotels in Doha during the FIFA World Cup 2022. The State of Qatar will charter MSC Cruises’ MSC Europa and MSC Poesia, both scheduled for delivery in 2022.

The cruise liners have a total combined capacity of 4 000 cabins and will act as floating hotels during the tournament. They will be berthed at Doha Port, which provides fast access to all the stadiums and fan zones.

For the duration of the tournament, a bus service will shuttle fans from the ships to Doha’s transport infrastructure, including Doha Metro.
