Football fans will be able to watch the live transmissions of games from the UEFA Champions League by Sky Deutschland on cruise ships from MSC Cruises following a partnership formed by the German pay-TV broadcaster and the shipping company.
The agreement which initially runs for one year covers all Champions League matches which will be made available onboard ten cruise liners from the MSC fleet from now on. The games are shown on screens in bars and lounges.
The signals are received by the cruise ships via satellite, a Sky Deutschland spokeswoman told Broadband TV News.
