The arrival of Manxman has been confirmed for this weekend.
After covering more than 12,000 nautical miles, through eight seas and three oceans, the Steam Packet Company's flagship vessel is expected to arrive in Douglas Bay at 9am on Sunday, 2 July.
Manxman began its journey from South Korea in May and stopped at six ports along the way before arriving in Southampton for a final installation of equipment and artwork by Island-based artists.
The boat is the Steam Packet's fourth vessel, the others being the Ben-my-Chree, Manannan and The MV Arrow.
