LONDON – Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines has teamed up with the English Bridge Union to offer an EBU-sanctioned bridge tournament on board Balmoral, hosted by renowned player Paul Hackett.
There will be opportunities for experienced and novice players to join the tournaments on the 12-night cruise Canary Islands cruise sailing from Dover on May 3, and Hackett will give talks and comment on each day’s play.
Hackett is a member of the English World Senior Championship team that won gold in Sao Paulo in September 2009.
Those taking part in the bridge sessions must pre-book and there is an additional charge of A$200 per player for participation.
Players will earn EBU points from their involvement in the tournament.
