The newspaper is to publish supplements on the London Boat Show, cruises and South Africa and a glossy A4 supplement on Portugal after clinching advertising worth more than 500,000.

The first 24pp tabloid supplement, on the London Boat Show, was included with the paper on 6 January, and featured 12pp of colour.

A further 25,000 copies were distributed at the event, at London's ExCeL centre in Docklands.

A 16pp tabloid covering major cruise brands, featuring 8pp of colour, will be published on 29 January. It will be followed on 12 February by a 16pp tabloid on South Africa. The content of both 16pp supplements will also be available online.

The 8pp A4 supplement on the Portuguese islands of San Miguel, Horta and Terceira will appear on 29 January. It will be printed by Wyndeham Impact with a print run of 1.3m, and stitched inside The Telegraph Magazine, which is printed gravure at Gruner+Jahr's DD+V plant in Germany.

A fifth supplement, a 16pp full-colour tabloid on New Zealand, Australia and Asia which was to be published on 22 January, has been postponed in the wake of the tsunami disaster. A new date for publication has not yet been set.
