A 33-night World Cup package with tickets to eight matches, including both semi-finals and the final, has gone on sale starting at £11,500.
Thomas Cook Sport has put together the trip to South Africa to cover every round of the tournament this summer.
The tour includes 31 nights accommodation and two nights flying.
It includes match tickets to England v USA in Rustenburg, England v Algeria in Cape Town, Slovenia v England in Port Elizabeth, Round of 16 in either Rustenburg or Bloemfontein, Quarter Final in either Johannesburg or Cape Town, Semi Finals in Cape Town and in Durban and the Final in Johannesburg.

If England get knocked out, tickets will revert to watch the knockout match involving England’s group winner and the winning team thereafter through to the final.

Economy flights to Johannesburg are on Virgin Atlantic and the package includes domestic flights to Cape Town, Port Elizabeth and Durban.

Thomas Cook Sport managing director Danny Talbot said: “After the initial surge when the draw was announced in December, we’re now seeing more interest in flights and hotels following the closure of the ticket ballot.
“With flights from £680, we’ve secured some of the best prices in the market.
“We still have packages on sale, including additional trips for the first game against the USA after unprecedented demand from England’s fans.
“The ever increasing confidence in England being successful in their group means that we’re now seeing fans requesting trips that give them the best chance of seeing the team in the latter stages.”
