The Renaissance has repositioned to the Mediterranean ahead of CFC’s late-summer season in the region.
Having completed its deployment in Northern Europe, the vessel embarked on a repositioning voyage to Marseille earlier this month.
The 10-night cruise sailed from Dunkirk and featured visits to destinations in Portugal and Spain, including Lisbon, Málaga, Cádiz and Almería.
Before arriving in Marseille, the itinerary also included a late-night departure from Ibiza following a nine-hour call.
The Renaissance is now scheduled to offer a series of two- to 14-night cruises to the Western and Eastern Mediterranean.
One of the highlights of the season is a two-week cruise to the Greek Isles departing Marseille in late September.
The itinerary visits three Greek islands: Patmos, Mykonos and Crete. It also calls at destinations in Turkey, Italy and France.
The schedule also offers guests an opportunity to spend one night onboard in September, with the vessel remaining docked in Marseille.
According to CFC, passengers will have a chance to discover the company’s product, as well as the Renaissance’s public areas and lounges.
In addition to accommodation, the experience includes a complimentary cocktail, dinner in the vessel’s main dining room and a half-bottle of wine per person.
Guests will also take in a show at the ship’s theater and have breakfast before disembarking the 70,000-ton vessel.
In mid-October, the Renaissance will return to Northern Europe ahead of repositioning to the Caribbean for the winter.
During the 2026-27 season, the 1,578-passenger ship will offer cruises departing from Guadeloupe and Barbados as part of a fly-cruise operation shared with Ambassador Cruise Line.
The eight- to 14-night itineraries are highlighted by visits to destinations in the Southern and Eastern Caribbean, including Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Antigua, St. Lucia and St. Maarten.
