TwitterTallest Cruise Ship
The 160,000-ton Freedom of the Seas is owned by Florida-based Royal Caribbean Cruises Limited.
The 1,100 foot-long ship can carry some 4,000 passengers. It contains several swimming pools, a surf park, a full-size boxing ring, an ice rink and a climbing wall.
The Finnish-built cruise ship overtakes rival cruise line Cunard's Queen Mary 2 as the world's largest passenger ship. The Queen Mary 2 can carry about 3,000 vacationers.
Royal Caribbean has ordered an even bigger ship capable of carrying up to 6,400 passengers for delivery in 2009.
The world's largest passenger ship will return to the Caribbean in late 2015 after spending a summer in Europe for the first time. Is Working for a Cruise Ship Fun?
