Silversea Cruises’ new ship Silver Spirit will operate its first summer in the Mediterranean in 2010.
The details emerged as part of the ultra-luxury line’s sailing schedule for next year.
The company’s five all-suite ships will visit more than 355 ports in 95 countries and islands on over 175 itineraries.
The programme goes on sale on Monday.
Following a 91-day inaugural cruise around South America in January 2010, Silver Spirit will make a two-week transatlantic crossing from New York to Southampton, including Silversea’s first call in Cardiff.
The line’s newest ship will operate in the Mediterranean between May to October, running mostly seven-night cruises.
The 540-passenger Silver Spirit completes its first year of service in the Caribbean.
Silver Cloud will be positioned year-round in the Mediterranean for the first time from the autumn of 2010 after a summer spent in Northern Europe covering the British Isles, Iceland, Norway and the Baltic Sea.
The overall programme includes Silver Shadow returning to Alaska plus nine new destinations: Le Verdon, France; Rimini, Italy; Ile Rousse, Corsica; Cardiff; Sendai, Japan; Chan May, Vietnam; Lakshadweep, India; Buzios, Brazil; and Seydisfjordur, Iceland.
Details on the 2010 schedule for Silversea’s expedition ship, Prince Albert II, will be available in the coming weeks, the company said.
Executive vice-president of worldwide sales and marketing David Morris said: "Our fleet expansion presents many opportunities for innovative deployment.
"With the addition of a fifth all-suite ship in 2010, our schedule will offer an exceptionally broad range of travel choices, including Silver Spirit’sexciting 91-day grand inaugural voyage, and the first-ever, year-round deployment of Silver Cloudin the Mediterranean."
