Silversea Cruises will launch a new 40,000 ton ship in April 2017.
The new flagship, to be named Silver Muse is being built at the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy and will carry 596 passengers.
The addition of Silver Muse will boost the line’s fleet to nine ships.
"We have always had a special relationship with Fincantieri, since my father ordered from them the first cruise vessels for Sitmar Cruises in 1987," said Silversea chairman Manfredi Lefebvre d’Ovidio.
"Both companies have a clear understanding of what today’s affluent traveller seeks, and each approaches the market with originality, creativity, and quality."
Specific details of Silver Muse’s design have not yet been revealed, but it will be an ‘evolution’ based on its most recent ship Silver Spirit.
Enzo Visone, Silversea’s CEO said: "With enhanced design specifications and enriched content, the Silver Muse will continue to build on the sophistication, innovative style and ground-breaking concepts for which Silversea ships are renowned."
