Followers of Kate Middleton's maternity style will get another fashion fix, as well as ideas on how to dress their baby bump in the later stages of pregnancy.
According to sources, the Duchess set to christen a cruise liner in Southampton just one month before her rumoured due date.
The pregnant royal has apparently agreed to become the "Godmother" of the Princess Cruises' new liner, aptly named the Royal Princess, on June 13.
She will make the most of her new role taking a tour of the new ship, which has an impressive 27 bars and restaurants as well as an entertainment area that seats 280 people.
Impressive as the ship may sound we just can't wait to see what maternity clothes Kate chooses to show off her bump.

Top five breastfeeding dresses from the budget to the luxury
Breastfeeding fashion is a topic we could talk about until the cows come home.
We absolutely heart how much the industry has moved on from simple vest tops to gorgeous, luxury, stylish tops and dresses, which let you subtly nurse your baby while staying glam.
A few weeks back we enlisted the help of Emma Downie, owner and director of gorge breastfeeding and maternity fashion brand Milk & Mummy, and gave you some essential breastfeeding tips with our pick of breastfeeding tops.
However, with the weather getting warmer and events such as weddings becoming more popular we decided it was time to scour the virtual highstreet to find you the best breastfeeding dresses for that day in the park or summer wedding.
Below are our top five from the budget to the luxury.

Maternity beauty review: Cussons Mum and Me Relax & Unwind Sleep Mist.
We know how important it is to have some pampering time when you're pregnant and just after the birth, but when you've got a little person to think about your financial priorities sit elsewhere.
If you're a mum or a mum-to-be the Cusson's Mum and Me adverts will have probably tugged on a heart string at some point, and because the range is so reasonably priced it will probably have the same effect on your purse strings too.
For those of you not so`familiar with the brand, the products range from maternity to when the baby is here as well as offering a paediatrician-approved collection for your little ones.
A while back we were lucky enough to be sent the Mum & Me Bump Gift bag, which contains four products from the Bump range including the Smooth & Glow Pregnancy Shampoo, Soothe and Nourish Body Lotion, Relax and Unwind Bath Soak and the Relax & Unwind Sleep Mist.
And today it's the latter we want to focus on.
Unlike many sleep aids on the market, which are no-goes when you're carrying that precious bundle, the Relax & Unwind Sleep Mist aims to help those of us who suffer from the dreaded pregnancy insomnia relax and travel to the land of nod safely and naturally.
It uses a mix of Camomile and Lavender, which is sprayed onto your pillow just before you climb into bed.
The mist is light meaning your pillow doesn't stay wet for long and the scent is subtle, which is great for sensitive pregnant noses, as well as ensuring bedrooms aren't engulfed in the smell.
And we're pleased to report we saw results. For the three nights we used the spray we were out for the count and managed a good eight hours, compared to night's before where we'd been counting sheep and praying for sleep.
We think it's worth every penny of its £4.99 price tag.

The reality star posted a bare belly bump picture on the social network site after a report by The National Enquirer suggested her pregnancy was a scam and a way to keep her in the press.
It said it had come to the conclusion as a result of Kim's ever changing baby bump as well as claiming she had been spotted drinking.
However, Kim hit back with the pic, as well as posting another shot of herself and her sister Kylie Jenner, where she showed off her bump in a black catsuit
