The sixth vessel in Renaissance Cruises R-class, the R Six debuted in 2000. She was to be based in the Caribbean during the 2001 / 2002 winter season, but has now been laid up following Renaissance Cruises' bankruptcy filing in September, 2001. Dubai-based newcomer Imperium Cruises has now chartered the ship, which is expected to enter service in June, 2002.

Excerpts from Renaissance's Website about the R Six
Built by the Chantiers de l'Atlantique of Saint-Nazaire, France, the R-Class ships are nearly identical in design. Each ship has 11 decks and accommodates 684 passengers in spacious suites and staterooms that have the feel of luxury hotel rooms.
Our R-Class ships feature four restaurants that offer open seating and casual dress codes. There are five lounges or bars, a health spa, two whirlpool spas, swimming pool, fitness track, a library, duty free shopping and other facilities for indoor and outdoor activities.
