“Guests have the chance to experience the blissful paradise islands of the French Polynesia over the festive period, before Black Watch berths in Sydney Harbour, with a view of the bridge, just in time for New Year’s Eve, the fireworks and, of course, the arrival of 2019.

“The journey back around the globe includes Singapore, India, the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean, Petra in Jordan, James Bond Island in Thailand, and the Burg Khalifa – the world’s tallest building – in Dubai.

“It promises to be a memorable and unforgettable experience, where guests will cruise to each new destination in comfort and style, so they are relaxed and ready for their next amazing and unmissable exploration.”
