At 339 metres long and 56 metres wide, it’s the world’s largest cruise ship. Although the “Freedom of the Seas” is six metres shorter than the previous queen of the oceans, the "Queen Mary 2", the ocean giant that was built in Finland for Royal Caribbean International is 15 metres wider.

Complete with a theatre, library, casino, karaoke stage, bars, restaurants and shops, the "Freedom" is a floating amusement centre. And sports enthusiasts can also find almost everything they could possibly want. They just have to decide between the ice and skating rinks, the climbing wall and the boxing ring, golf and basketball. Or they can relax in one of the many pools, which turn into an open-air club with a sculpture park after dark.

Another spectacular attraction is the "FlowRider", the world’s first surfing wave on board a ship. The jewel of the 1,800 plus passenger cabins is the "Royal Suite": at a price of 15,000 euros per night, VIP passengers can have their own balcony featuring a whirlpool and a grand piano. But the “Freedom” is not only about luxury. Interior cabins are available for as little as 730 euros per one-week cruise.
