It will not be Mona Lisa as she is on her other charter.
It remains to be seen what ship the Japanese Peace Movement use but after the breakdowns the last time they used Clipper Pacific I doubt if they would charter her again unless they are not paying for the use of the ship !

To Jeff,
As Bob posted, Name of the ship not shown in English page but Clipper Pacific is to be used in Japanese page until now.
Mona Lisa is scheduled to return to Yokohama on April 19th though Next Peace Boat's World Cruise is expected to leave on April 8th.
Mona Lisa is at sea, enroute from Wallis Bay(Namibie) to Rio De Janeiro Today.

You're right this was brough up a while ago and as a result I snooped around on the English section of Peac Boat's website and discovered the following:
Peace Boat organizes its voyages on chartered passenger ships, adapting the onboard spaces to provide a unique and dynamic environment for its participants. Since 2008, Peace Boat has been chartering MS Clipper Pacific for its global voyages. The current 63rd and upcoming 64th Global Voyages for Peace are being conducted with the MV Mona Lisa, on a short-term charter.
So it looks like Mona Lisa is doing 2 voyages for them. The implication is that Clipper Pacific will do the others; however, this wording leaves it open to ANY ship dong these.
It is possible that she could be chartered to the Japanese Peace Movement.

Louis is operating THE EMERALD ex-Limassol between 3 July and 18 September.

Oops! sometimes it´s better to look one more time before saying something. Indeed she is on the list.
The history of Peace Boat Organization, dates back as follows...the first cruise ships chartered were:-
1) MS OLVIA
then...
2) SS THE TOPAZ
3) M/V CLIPPER PEARL ...
She started her career officially as Clipper Pearl , but 3 months after her renewal, she changed name into CLIPPER PACIFIC, and she was later on detained in USA due to severe irregularities...
Since then, her world cruise was canceled and Peace Boat presently searches for a suitable ship/replacement...
4) M/S MONA LISA...Jan 2009...announced as the next Peace Boat...
Let's see if this old lady will became their newest ship!
P.S.- The Aegean Pearl was one of the ships that were considered for this purpose, but others were also seen/evaluated...
