The championship will conclude with the final in Berlin on July 14. From July 1 to 14, passengers can watch Wimbledon matches, and from July 26 to August 11, the Olympic Games in Paris will be broadcasted. These broadcasts will be available in public areas as well as in cabins.

This initiative aims to ensure that guests can enjoy their favorite sporting events without leaving the ship. Clare Ward, Director of Product and Customer Service at Fred. Olsen, noted that sporting events are important to many guests, and the company is pleased to offer such a wide range of broadcasts this summer.

The broadcasts on Fred. Olsen ships will include football matches, tennis matches, and Olympic events. This will allow passengers to stay updated on major sporting events during their travels. Fred. Olsen also plans to provide all necessary facilities for comfortable viewing, including making broadcasts available in public areas and cabins on their Bolette, Borealis, and Balmoral ships.
