Leisure Facilities on Renaissance
Dining, Bars, Lounges & Spa
Welcome Aboard Renaissance
Renaissance is your home from home, an intimate and comfortable ship recently renovated in France with a multi-lingual crew and a warm welcome from the moment you step onboard.
With around 1,100 guests, it’s easy to explore, easy to settle in and easy to find your favourite spot, whether that’s the pool deck under the retractable roof or a lounge with live music.
“Renaissance felt elegant, intimate and easy to explore. I loved the views from the upper deck with the retractable roof and the spa was a real highlight.”
- Guest Review
Seven ways to eat. Three of them included. All of them worth it.
Dining on Renaissance
On Renaissance, "what's for dinner?" is actually an interesting question. The Grand Restaurant Vatel spans two decks and is where the ship gathers for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. Belle-Île handles the casual moments — morning buffet, post-port lunch, afternoon tea. Moana Grill is there when you want something quick and easy on deck. And then there are four speciality restaurants, each one a completely different evening. Terre & Mer for coastal fine dining. Kreole by Mondi for Caribbean soul and good cocktails. Lotus for Pan-Asian cuisine, and on selected evenings, Saffron — an Indian fusion menu served in the same space. For a very special occasion, the Chef's Table: a multi-course dinner hosted by the Executive Chef, beginning with a tour of the galley, ending with a meal you'll be thinking about long after the final course. Three venues are included in your fare. Four require a supplement. Every single one is worth planning around.

Good Drinks, Great Company

From a bright atrium bar with live music to a panoramic lounge made for sea days and late nights, Renaissance has welcoming spaces for every mood. Settle in for a cocktail, enjoy the atmosphere and let the evening find its own pace.

La Reserve | Cosy and tucked away | A slower-paced glass of wine or bubbles and small-group chats away from the main buzz. |
Rendez-vous | Sociable and central | Meeting up before dinner, people-watching and settling in with a classic cocktail. |
Le Panoramique Lounge & Nightclub | Panoramic then party | 180° views across the bow on sea days, then live band and DJ into the evening. |

Sea Days, Your Way
Wellness, Fitness & Relaxation
Whether you’re in the mood for a treatment, a workout or an easy swim, Renaissance makes it simple to look after yourself at sea. Head up to Deck 11 for spa time and pool time, with plenty of views to go with it.
You’ll also find wellness classes and a well-equipped gym, so you can keep moving if you want to, then slow it right down afterwards.
Green Sea Spa
Relax and recoup in the Green Sea Spa on Deck 11. Choose from over 50 treatments, including hot stone massage, traditional Balinese massage and invigorating seaweed wraps, plus sauna and steam room facilities.
Fitness Centre
A bright, well-equipped gym for cardio and resistance training, perfect for a steady routine or a quick session before breakfast.
Out on Deck, Lido Pool & Whirlpools
Located mid-ship on Deck 11, the Lido pool, bar and grill are ideal for a relaxed sea day. With a retractable roof, two whirlpools, a main swimming pool and plenty of sun loungers, you can enjoy the space whatever the weather.
*Supplementary charges apply for the spa and select treatments.
Every evening is worth showing up for.
Entertainment & Enrichment
On a Renaissance Caribbean sailing, the evenings are not filler between port days. They're the thing you plan your afternoon around. The Renaissance Theatre sits at the heart of the ship. The theatre company performs twice nightly. The productions are West End in ambition, Caribbean in atmosphere, and they change every single evening. After the show, the night carries on across the bars and lounges — live music, quiz nights, cabarets and game shows that regularly have the whole room in stitches. And if you're not ready to stop when everyone else does, Le Panoramique is there. ABBA parties, silent discos, live music, a 180-degree view of the Caribbean at night. It is, in the best possible way, extremely difficult to have a dull evening on this ship. Sea days get the same treatment. But there's a whole section for those.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- The World of Wonder, a vibrant vignette celebrating rhythm, colour and culture
- Theatre@Sea, Boeing Boeing, a laugh-out-loud play to round off the day
- Gameshows and quizzes hosted in Massalia Lounge, including multilingual favourites
- Deck parties under the stars with live band sets and DJ nights
- Insight Host sessions, library-led talks and relaxed social activities
Shops & Spaces
