CFC Renaissance deck plans

CFC Renaissance (1993-built as "MS Maasdam", previously named "Aegean Myth" by SEAJETS Greece, last refurbished in 2022 by CFC, last refurbishment by HAL-Holland America Line in 2018) is the second of all four Statendam/S-class Holland America ships - together with Ryndam (Celestyal Journey), Statendam (Vasco da Gama) and Veendam (Aegean Majesty). HAL's Maasdam ship was named after Maas River (Netherlands). In 2020, the vessel was sold to Seajets Ferries (Greece).

In July 2020, MS Maasdam was sold to SeaJets Ferries (Greece) and renamed "Aegean Myth". In August 2022, Aegean Myth was sold to CFC (Compagnie Francaise De Croisieres) and renamed "MS Renaissance".

MS Maasdam deck plan changes 2018 refurbishment review

During drydock 2018 (August 31 - September 9, done at Freeport Bahamas) the Maasdam vessel received the following Suite cabin upgrades:

• furnishings (sofas, chairs, headboards), carpeting, wall coverings, privacy curtains, draperies, bed runners, bed skirts, (vanity), new make-up vanities (quartz stone tops, modern lighting), dressers, dressing tables, nightstands, LED reading lights, wardrobes (with lighted closet rod)

• USB outlet (on the bed's headboard), power outlets, LED ceiling lights
• BOSE SoundDock (iPod stations)
• interactive HDTV system (Internet capabilities, free movies on demand)
• All Suite bathrooms were also renovated.

Maasdam ship's 2018 refurbishment was part of Holland America Line's USD 300 million fleet renovation program (scheduled for 2016-2018) that also included updating onboard entertainment, dining and suites fleetwide.

In 2016, Holland America updated MS Maasdam's shipboard programming (enrichment, entertainment and children) replacing the old "Dancing With the Stars" with "BBC Earth" content.

• The theatre lounge started hosting daily expert lectures, presentations, a nature-themed game show with BBC Earth screenings and introductions by the crews that filmed these series. A signature concert in the evenings was based on the "Frozen Planet" program (polar regions-themed) - a spectacular multimedia show with live musicians.
• The children's facilities (Club HAL) featured an explorer trail, workshops (including on journalism and filming), fact shows (animals, dinosaurs).

Holland America-themed voyages featured access to the BBC Earth series creators, sharing behind-the-scenes media and stories. Children had the opportunity to participate in filming workshops.
