Renaissance

Ambassador Cruise Line

Ship Overview

Renaissance, launched in 1993 and freshly rejuvenated in 2025 in France, is a 55,575 gross-ton ship that sits about 219 meters long with a graceful 31-meter beam. With a guest capacity of around 1,100 and a crew of 560, this nine-deck vessel offers an intimate, home-from-home atmosphere without sacrificing space or style. Onboard you’ll discover a refined program of experiences: a main restaurant spanning two decks, plus specialty dining venues and a casual buffet; several bars and lounges perfect for sunset conversations; a tiered main theatre for dazzling productions; and inviting spaces like a card room, library and craft studio to tap into hidden talents or discover new hobbies. The wellness centre and gym invite daily renewal, while a swimming pool with a retractable roof lets you soak up sun in any weather. For moments of leisure ashore or at sea, you’ll find retail shops along the promenades to explore. The ship’s 629 cabins ensure comfortable options for solo travelers and families alike, while a multilingual crew stands ready to assist in several languages, making Renaissance feel like a true home at sea during its Ambassador season. Please note, electrical plugs accommodate US 110V two-pin and EU 220V two-pin, and adapters are not provided, so guests are advised to bring their own.
