Cruises
Overview:
she entered service in December of 1998 and like her sisters targets the experienced cruise passenger looking for luxury. She and her sisters are oddities in new ship building in that they are not mega-ships nor are they yacht-sized. They occupy an interesting middle-ground at just over 30,000 tons. She is large enough to provide many of the services expected on upscale ships, but still small enough to visit many of the smaller ports around the world.
She is the second of four new ships for Renaissance and her maiden voyage was in December 1998. On board passengers have the choice of open-seating in any of her four restaurants and have the following available to them: speciality restaurant, sports bar, two freshwater spas, casino, library, outdoor pool, hair salon and a self-service laundrette.
Sixty-eight (68%) of her staterooms have private terraces. Cabins range in size from 160 to 216 square feet and you food and service is very good.
