Tony Roberts, vice president Princess Cruises UK and Europe, said: "We are pleased to announce we will be showing sporting events this summer to complement the extensive choice of entertainment options already available onboard.

"If you're a sports fan you can watch the big game from Sapphire Princess' stunning top deck, your favourite drink in hand, as the world drifts by.

"And if you'd prefer something non-sporty there is a wealth of other options on board including relaxing in the luxury spa, indulging in wine tasting or catching up on the latest Hollywood blockbuster."

Princess Cruises is offering a 14-night Baltic Heritage Cruise, round trip from Southampton, on Sapphire Princess from £1,299 per person.

Departing Saturday, July 7, ports of call include Brussels/Bruges (Zeebrugge), Copenhagen, Stockholm, Tallinn, St Petersburg (with overnight), Helsinki and Berlin (Warnemunde).
