World Cup cruise specials, from £499

If you fancied watching England's opening World Cup game against Italy from the deck of a cruise ship while it is docked in Naples, then I'm afraid you're already too late. A last-minute bargain deal for a week's Mediterranean cruise from June 11 aboard P&O's Ventura (above) has just sold out.

England's other two group games against Uruguay and Costa Rica will be screened aboard P&O's Arcadia during its 12 night cruise to Iceland and the Faroe Islands departing Southampton on June 16, with prices from £669 with Iglucruise.

Or, if you want to escape the World Cup altogether, then a cruise to the Norwegian fjords aboard Fred. Olsen's Braemar from Dover on June 14 has been declared a football free zone. Fares from £499 with Iglucruise.
