Guests onboard Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ Around the World sailing in 2018/19 will have the chance to celebrate New Year in Sydney, as shown in the new brochure.

The brochure showcases Black Watch’s 107-night global exploration departing from Southampton in November 2018.

The cruise has been designed to coincide with Sydney Harbour’s New Year’s Eve Fireworks, a truly memorable way for guests to mark the start of 2019

Other highlights of this voyage include observing the Komodo Dragons in their natural habitat, sailing the newly-expanded Panama Canal, relaxing in Bora Bora and visiting the Taj Mahal.

Justin Stanton, sales and marketing director for Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines, said: “Our late 2018 World Cruise is an incredible adventure where guests can enjoy a multitude of once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

“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.”

Black Watch’s W1825 107-night ‘Around the World with Sydney at New Year’ cruise, departs Southampton on 12 November 2018. Prices start from £10,499 per person for an interior room.
