Hundreds of passengers were today preparing to leave Southampton and sail into the unknown on board another prize-winning adventure that is the Daily Echo's Magical Mystery Cruise.
The cruise liner Saga Ruby is due to sail out of the city for 14 nights and visit mystery destinations known only to the captain and a few select members of the crew.
And once again the Daily Echo has teamed up with Saga to make you part of the adventure and win your own cruise with the holiday company for the over 50s.
The luxury vessel, which last year had a £17m refit, could sail anywhere from the Channel Islands to the Caribbean, and the only clue given away to passengers on the trip is that four out of the eight scheduled destinations, will be new ports of call for the ship.
The popular holiday has become a sell-out feature of Saga's holiday calendar and more than 300 passengers will be aboard the ship, with some passengers paying a maximum of £9,229 to be a part of the experience.

Each day, once the destination is known, the competition will close and all correct guesses will go into a pot.
If the ship is still at sea by midday, all the guesses will be carried forward until the next time the vessel arrives in port.
At the end of the two week cruise all correct entries will go into a pot and a winner will selected at random to win a cabin for two on Saga Rose's four-night A Taste of France cruise leaving on August 29 this summer.
You can keep up to date with the cruise's progress each day on this website, so be sure to check back to dailyecho.co.uk everyday.
