USA Basketball teams to stay on luxury cruise ship in Rio

The U.S. men's and women's basketball teams won't have to worry about the "uninhabitable" state of the athletes' village in Rio, since they'll be boarding an upscale cruise ship.

The Americans have reserved all of the Silver Cloud's cabins - 196 of them, to be precise, which can fit up to 400 people - for their stay during the Olympics, according to AFP.

The ship's already docked at the city's port, where tourists are expected to flock in order to watch the Summer Games on large screens and take in events.

They won't have much access to USA Basketball's ship, however, due to heavy security in the form of bulletproof fencing and 250 police officers, who have two boats of their own to protect the top-ranked basketball squads.
