Freedom of the Seas Cruise Ship Overview:
The Freedom of the Seas is the largest cruise ship ever built. She is called an Ultra-Voyager because she is an extension of the Royal Caribbean International (RCI) Voyager of the Seas class. The Freedom of the Seas is larger than the Voyager and carries 500 more passengers. The ship's extra length and size has enabled RCI to include lots of exciting options never seen on a cruise ship before such as a surfing pool.

The Freedom of the Seas has many different levels of cabins, ranging from the 14-person, 1200 square foot Presidential Suite to a 160 square foot, twin-bed interior cabins. All cabins have a private bath (some with tub, all with shower), hairdryer, desk, mini-bar, safe, satellite telephone, and flat screen TV.
