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 left Aker Finnyards shipyard in Turku, Finland on 24 April 2006. With gross tonnage of 154,410 tons, they surpassed Cunard Line's Queen Mary 2 as the largest ships in the world even though they are five meters shorter than the Queen Mary 2. The Freedom of the Seas includes two new features: the Flowrider and the H2O Zone for kids. The Freedom of the Seas continues the traditions of the Voyager Class Ships with a 400-foot (120 m) mall named the Royal Promenade, featuring pubs, shops, arcades, bars, and a 24 hour Cafe Promenade.
