2017 is becoming the year of the new cruise ship.

This year Seabourn Cruise Line launches their new Encore, a 600 passenger ship.

Silversea Cruises launches its ultra-luxury Silver Muse in April, which has great restaurant choices.

Norwegian Cruise Line is also introducing its new Norwegian Joy. The ship is aimed at Chinese cruisers, complete with a go kart racetrack on deck.

The MSC Meraviglia launches in June, complete with a 262-foot synthetic LED sky above its interior promenade complete with Cirque du Soleil performances.

Later in the year, the massive MSC Seaside will sail in the Caribbean, complete with a large water park and an industry first — a wraparound al fresco boardwalk.

Most of the new ships are already sold out — or close to it — for their inaugural season.

But there’s good news — look for very attractive discounts on these cruise lines’ other ships and itineraries. It’s a buyers market for 2017.
