Norwegian will offer cruise packages the 2023 Rugby World Cup as part of its newly-launched Experiences at Sea brand.

Taking place on Norwegian Epic, the cruises packages, arranged in collaboration with Infinity Sports & Events, will range from just one to 10 nights between 8 September and 16 October.

Guests will be guaranteed official match tickets to a selection of games in Marseille, Nice, Bordeaux and Nantes.

It will be the first European charter for NCL, which has recently merged its Sixthman Festivals at Sea brand with its Charters, Meetings and Incentives division.

To grow its charter business outside of the US, Canada and Mexico, Experiences at Sea has hired Sabrina Greca, who is based in Southampton, and Jake Leighton Pope, based in London.

Sabrina has taken the new role of International Senior Corporate Sales Manager, overseeing the CM&I business development in Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.

Jake has joined at Senior Director of Event Development to explore new festival at sea concepts in Europe.
