England fans offered £150-a-night Qatar World Cup packages - aboard a cruise ship

England fans are being offered £150-a-night packages at the World Cup - including all-you-can-drink deals on a cruise ship.

Members of the official England supporters’ club have received details and a chance to put their names down on a waiting list for different accommodation options for Qatar.

And the most eye-catching of all is the 3,898 cabins - or 9,977 guests - available on a cruise ship which includes an all inclusive package.

The travel details boast: “A number of cruise ships will be moored at the top of the Corniche - the palm tree lined, waterfront promenade which runs along the Doha bay to the city.

“They will offer all inclusive deals which we were told should come in at around $200 per person per night. Food and (importantly for many England fans) alcohol will be available on board.”

The organisers might be misjudging the all inclusive price if they had seen some of the drinking sessions on recent England trips.

World Cup organisers have already held workshops to tell various supporter groups what is on offer and, even though there will be a squeeze on available rooms, it would seem there is good value and different options.

The packages also include £75-a-night rooms in apartments and villas for up to 66,264 guests and three star hotels with 55,480 rooms for 108,960 guests at £75-a-night.

There will also be space for 3,000 fans in a fan village - organisers hope to make it “glamping” or posh camping - which the England travel firm say they hope will resemble the Glastonbury music festival.

Premier League referees Michael Oliver and Anthony Taylor, plus Stuart Attwell, went on a five day World Cup Prospective Referees Seminar in Abu Dhabi last week.
