Thomson unveils new ship

Thomson Cruises has unveiled plans for its brand new ship, Thomson Discovery, including new dining options, to modernise the fleet and the on board customer experience.

Customers on Thomson Discovery will have eight dining venues to choose from, including two new signature restaurants, Snack Shack and Gallery 47 degrees. The ship’s exterior will also receive a new look with a wave design accentuating the hull profile.

Based in Palma from June 2016, Discovery will be the largest in the fleet with a capacity of 1,830 across 915 cabins, almost 40 per cent of which will offer balconies. In addition to the extensive dining choices, the family-friendly ship boasts an outdoor movie screen, rock climbing wall and eight bars and lounges.

The new ship’s summer 2016 itineraries includes Highlights of the Mediterranean, Cosmopolitan Classics, Mediterranean Secrets and Magic of Spain, and will take in some of the most popular European spots, including Naples (for Pompeii) in Italy and Barcelona and Cadiz (for Seville) in Spain.
