Fred Olsen Cruise Lines' 28,492 ton flagship, Black Watch will sail from Southampton on her second round-the-world voyage.
The 104-night cruise has been included in the ship's 2005 programme as a direct result of high passenger demand following her circumnavigation earlier this year.
During the cruise, which begins on Wednesday January 5, the ship will call at 35 ports in a total of 28 different countries before returning to Southampton on Monday, April 18.
With tickets costing up to £39,365 per person for Black Watch's top-of-the-range Premier Suite on the vessel's Marquee Deck it is expected that a large percentage of the 761 passengers will be booked for the complete voyage although there are 16 different cruise options within the world-wide itinerary.
After completing the world cruise Black Watch is scheduled to enter dry dock for an extensive refit period which includes re-engining and replacement of propellers.
