RENAISSANCE against its type

Built in 1993, it is 17 years older than the median cruise ship on this register, which was built in 2010 (195 vessels with a known build year). At 55,000 gross tonnage it is smaller than 67% of the other 177 cruise ships with a recorded tonnage. It is one of 24 cruise ships here under the Bermuda flag, 11.9% of the 202 on the register. The same builder is recorded for 132 other vessels here, 60 of them cruise ships. Ambassador Cruise Line is linked to 3 vessels on this register. The returns for 2023–2025 all give Hamilton as port of registry.

Its 42,466 t of CO₂ for 2025 is 36% above the median of 31,269 t among the 200 cruise ships on this register that reported for 2025. Per nautical mile it emitted 715.2 kg CO₂, 13% below the type median of 821.3 kg. It logged 4,406 hours at sea against a median of 3,133 hours for its type that year. 12.5% of its 2025 emissions were at berth; the median for cruise ships was 15.1%. Across 3 years with reported emissions, the highest was 2025 (42,466 t) and the lowest 2023 (30,820 t). Of the 4 sister ships listed below with a 2025 return, 2 reported a lower CO₂ per nautical mile than this vessel.

Reported CO₂ in 2025 was 37.8% higher than in 2023, for EU/EEA voyages only.

From 2024 to 2025, emissions rose 6.2% and CO₂ per nautical mile fell 2.2%.Distance is missing for at least one of the two years, so activity and efficiency cannot be separated here.
