Hi, there's more about the MV Doulos from Clickthecity.com:
Almost 6 years after its last visit, the MV Doulos is coming back to the Philippines! MV Doulos is the world's oldest ocean-going passenger ship still active. Built in 1914 she is just 2 years younger than the Titanic!
With a stock of half a million books featuring around 6,000 titles on display and for sale, The World's oldest ocean-going passenger ship recorded in the Guinness book of Records, MV Doulos, hosts the largest floating book fair in the world! A large selection of books is in English, and a smaller selection is devoted to Tagalog literature. MV Doulos is scheduled to visit 4 different ports in the Philippines, and will stay in the country for almost three months.
MV Doulos schedule are as follows;
1. Bacolod (20 December 2006 - 1 January 2007)
2. Manila (5 - 22 January 2007)
3. Cebu (26 January -19 February 2007)
4. Batangas (23 February - 5 March 2007)
MV Doulos is also home to 350 people from over 50 nations who have dedicated their 2 years time as unpaid volunteers and effort to learning about serving people from different nations and cultures. A number of different cultural events are being organized for this visit to the Philippines. There will be a lot of programs on board and on shore for different ages and interest. After its previous visits, the Doulos and it's staff and crew are looking forward again to meeting, learning and sharing their lives and experiences with the people of the Philippines!
