Neymar is preparing to join a collection of lucky guests on a luxury cruise boasting his name.

Ahead of ‘Ney em Altob Mar’ setting sail, a message to interested parties on Instagram reads: “Important message from our captain: LAST CALL to secure your spot on the most anticipated cruise of the year! Book your cabin now and get ready to live that experience on board with Neymar. Some categories are already sold out, so hurry up and don't miss the chance to experience these 3 days of lots of partying and fun for all ages.”

Neymar added: “I’m very excited that the first edition of my cruise is coming soon. Lots of attractions and fun for you to enjoy with me these three amazing days on the high seas. Don’t miss out, there are only a few cabins left. See you there!”

The cruise in question promises guests “3 days and 3 nights of great daring and joy, celebrating everything that our Ney loves most outside the pitch”, but it does fall during an important run of games for those in English football – which may lead some suitors to turn their attention away from the South American star.

Neymar will be otherwise engaged between December 26-29, with the festive period being especially busy for teams in the Premier League.
