Comparison of two huge World Cup hotel-ships in Qatar

Two large luxury cruise ships with a total of more than 3,800 rooms are ready to host soccer World Cup passengers to ease part of the challenge of this small country in providing accommodation.

According to the report of the electronic publication of jahane-gardesh, quoted by ISNA, Qatar, as a small country, hosts one of the biggest sports events, and providing accommodation for World Cup travelers is one of the most important concerns of this country in the Persian Gulf region, and one of the solutions for the lack of accommodation during the event. The World Cup is the use of two large cruise ships that are not anchored in the port of Doha and are only ten minutes away from the city center.

Both cruise hotels offer a variety of room types, from traditional ocean-view rooms to luxury suites and balconies, multiple dining halls, and diverse entertainment programs for all ages.

In the 13 luxurious restaurants of “The MSC World Europa” ship, a variety of foods are served, from steak and kebab to sushi, Latin American street food, and a variety of seafood.

This ship is available in Doha Grand Port, just a few minutes away from tourist spots such as Souq Waqif and the Museum of Islamic Arts by bus.
