freedom of the seas




Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas is the most anticipated new ship since the Queen Mary 2.

The vessel was recently transferred from Aker Yards in Finland to Hamburg, Germany for finishing touches.

The largest cruise ship ever built will depart Hamburg on April 25 for a transatlantic voyage to New York City, where she will be christened. Her inaugural voyage is June 4.

Freedom of the Seas will carry a maximum of 4,370 passengers and feature an Everlast full-size boxing ring, the FlowRider surfing simulator and interactive water park.

She will also be equipped with two cantilevered whirlpools extending twelve feet out from the side of the ship.
