See the World Cup from a luxury cruise ship

The sister ships, MS Noordam and MS Westerdam are both rated among the Top-20 cruise ships in the world and are recipients of the “International 5-Star Diamond Award” for quality and service. During the period of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, Noordam and Westerdam will be sailing between the ports of Cape Town, Port Elizabeth and Durban, serving as a prime location for accommodation, entertainment and recreation.

Proven at the Athens Olympics

The One Ocean Club “cruise flotel” is a proven concept from the 2004 Athens Olympics and, for 2010, guests can be a part of one of the most secure luxury clubs and hotels in South Africa, whilst never being more than 15 minutes transfer time from port to the stadiums.

Kirsty Parry, marketing manager of the Cyclone Group said: “We are proud to partner with One Ocean Club in order to provide access to exclusive, specialised sports-tour solutions for our discerning clientele from across the globe. Cyclone Group guests will benefit from the complete set of infrastructure in place, including 24-hour transfers, shuttle services and VIP security. The cruise ships are a unique and upmarket addition to one of the most beautiful countries in the world during the single greatest sports event.”

State-of-the-art business centre

Besides offering contemporary amenities and modern enhancements, combined with five-star hospitality and service, each cruise ship has a world-class fitness centre, salon and spa, swimming pools, casinos, night clubs, theatre, library, four restaurants and 11 bars. Guests also have access to a state-of-the-art business centre, conference venue and meeting room facilities.

There has been enormous interest from across the African continent, which is steadily gaining momentum given recent World Cup qualifiers, including the mighty Elephants from Cote d'Ivoire, and the Ghanaian Black Stars.

Supporters who don't want to miss out should make provisional bookings now, before the draw on 4 December 2009.
