Renaissance is Ambassador Cruise Line’s smaller, more intimate ship, offering a traditional, British style cruise experience with a friendly, club like atmosphere. With fewer guests than on the big resort ships, public spaces feel relaxed and easy to move around, and you quickly start to recognise familiar faces among both crew and fellow passengers. Days on board can be as quiet or as sociable as you wish. The open decks provide space for fresh air, sea views and time by the pool, while indoors you’ll find lounges and bars for coffee, afternoon tea or a pre dinner drink, plus a library, card room and areas for quizzes and talks. The spa and fitness facilities cater for those who like to balance relaxation with a little exercise. Dining follows a more traditional pattern, with a main restaurant offering multi course dinners, a buffet for casual meals and one or more speciality options on selected sailings. Evenings bring live music, shows in the main lounge or theatre, and the chance to linger over a nightcap. Throughout, the tone is comfortable and unpretentious, aimed at guests who enjoy classic cruising with modern comforts rather than a theme park style ship.
