Royal Caribbean orders another huge cruiseship


This is "Freedom of the Seas"

The partly Norwegian-owned cruiseline Royal Caribbean is going ahead with another huge cruiseship from a Norwegian-owned shipyard in Finland. The new vessel will be able to carry more than 5,000 passengers.

Royal Caribbean's new ship will have capacity for 5,400 passengers. It will cost about USD 1.2 billion to build, which equates to about USD 260,000 per berth.
M/S Freedom of the Seas is a Royal Caribbean International cruise ship and the name ship of her class. The world's largest passenger vessel, she can accommodate over 4,300 passengers on her fifteen passenger decks, served by over 1300 crew. She and her sisters will keep the title of the largest passenger ships ever built until construction of the Genesis class ships in 2009, also owned by Royal Caribbean International.
