Thomson Cruises has chosen Malaga on the Spanish mainland and Tenerife as homeports for TUI Discovery 2, which will join the fleet in summer 2017.
The ship will sail from Malaga in May 2017, with ports of call including Barcelona, Valencia, Ibiza, Porto, Lisbon and Marseille.
It will reposition to Tenerife in September, visiting ports in the Canaries, Morocco and Madeira on itineraries including Iberian Treasures, Continental Coasts and Canarian Flavours.
Cabins go on sale from July 21 2016.
Thomson has extended its cruise-and-stay portfolio, so customers can increase their holiday by three, four or seven nights and spend more time exploring the destination.
Those travelling on itineraries based in Tenerife can choose from 17 hotels, including Thomson’s Sensatori Resort Tenerife, while customers on Malaga-based itineraries have a selection of 12 hotels, including the adults-only Sensimar Riviera in Costa del Sol, Spain.
Thomson Cruises managing director Helen Caron said: "The introduction of TUI Discovery 2 to our fleet in 2017 continues our modernisation and transformation strategy.
"Both ports offer the perfect base for families, friends and couples, looking to explore stunning destinations."
This new ship will be identical to its sister ship TUI Discovery, which launched earlier this month.
It will have a capacity of 1,832 (double occupancy) across 915 cabins, with nearly 40% having balconies.
All-inclusive drinks are offered as standard on TUI Discovery 2 and attractions include an outdoor poolside movie screen, a rock-climbing wall, a mini-golf course and an indoor swimming pool and spa.
