| Holland America ships used at Capetown | Holland America ships will be used for accommodation instead of the QE2. Next summer, hundreds of thousands of football enthusiasts will descend on South Africa for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and a few thousand lucky fans will be staying aboard Holland America Line's Noordam and Westerdam. South Africa's Cape Argus newspaper reported on the 25th that the two ships have been confirmed for a June 10 to July 12 residency in South Africa (World Cup takes place from June 11 to July 11). Chartered by Germany-based hospitality services provider One Ocean Club, Noordam and Westerdam will dock at three South African ports -- Cape Town, Port Elizabeth and Durban -- sailing between them to follow the action. | 02/10/09 07:52 | |
