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.


How to enter the competition:
The Daily Echo is offering a Magical Mystery Cruise competition with a fantastic prize after teaming up with Saga.
We are asking our readers to guess the next port of call on the Saga Ruby's mystery cruise each day.
For each day of the cruise as the ship sails towards its next mystery destination we will give you another chance to guess its port of call.
Each day after the destination is known the online competition line will close and all the 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 cruise one lucky reader's guess from any of the ports will be chosen at random to win the cruise prize.
All you have to do is leave the name of the ships next port of call in the comment box below. Make sure you leave your correct email address so we can get back to you if your guess was right in the Daily Echo or by logging on to the website.
