Liberty of the Seas is a Royal Caribbean cruise ship, scheduled to enter service in Spring 2007. The 18-deck ship will accommodate 4,370 passengers served by 1,360 crew. At 160,000 gross tons, she will join her sister ship Freedom of the Seas as the largest cruise ships and passenger vessels ever built. She will be 1,112 feet (339m) long, and will cruise at 21.6 knots (40 km/h).
The ship will feature an interactive water park (including the FlowRider onboard wave generator for surfing), a dedicated sports pool (for volleyball, basketball, etc.), and whirlpools which extend from the ship's sides. She will also feature a coffee shop and bookstore, Sorrento's Pizzeria, and a Ben and Jerry's ice cream shop. Other amenities will be a rock climbing wall, ice skating rink, Wi-Fi capabilities throughout the ship, flat screen televisions in all staterooms, and cell phone connectivity.
Liberty of the Seas is projected to sail alternating seven-night Eastern Caribbean and Western Caribbean itineraries starting in June 2007 from her departure port of Miami, Florida.
The Liberty of the Seas is being built at the Aker Finnyards drydock in Turku, Finland, where her sister ship the Freedom of the Seas was also built. A third, unnamed ship of the same class is scheduled for delivery in 2008.
In 2009, the first in a new Genesis class of ships is slated to displace the Freedom class as the world's largest passenger ship.
