The newly refurbished 'Azamara Pursuit' will call into Douglas bay on Wednesday, (25 July) before sailing off for the Norwegian fjords.
Operated by Azamara Club Cruises, the 180m-long vessel will be carrying 710 passengers and 395 crew.
The visit will also see the return of Manxman Captain Carl Smith, as he skippers the ship into familiar territory.
