MAKINEN’s Refurbishment team has completed the enhancement of the Celebrity Constellation, focusing on updates to The Retreat, including the The Retreat lounge, Luminae, The Retreat’s private restaurant, and the Sunset Suites to further enhance both design and functionality. Executed in the MAKINEN Way, the project was led by Project Manager Mikael Karlsson, who expressed pride in the outcome:
“We are very pleased with the overall team effort and the quality of work delivered. The project reflected outstanding collaboration between all teams, and everything went smoothly and according to plan. We couldn’t be happier with how these spaces turned out. The transformation is truly impressive.”

The MAKINEN team partnered with Compagnie Française de Croisières to transform the interiors of CFC Renaissance, the former Holland America Line Maasdam. Acquired by the cruise line in August 2022, the vessel overwent a multi-million-euro renovation at the Damen Brest shipyard before debuting later in 2023.

In January 2023, the MAKINEN team dedicated themselves to refurbishing a total of 628 passenger cabins and staterooms, in addition to 17 public spaces. The areas were upgraded to ensure a higher standard of comfort and elegance.
