independence of the seas preview
the Independence of the Seas is a Freedom class cruise ship operated by the Royal Caribbean cruise line that entered service in April 2008. The 15-deck ship can accommodate 4370 passengers served by 1360 crew. She was built in the Aker Finnyards drydock in Turku, Finland, builder of Freedom of the Seas and Liberty of the Seas, her sister ships of the Freedom Class. At 154407 gross tons,[4] she joined Freedom of the Seas and Liberty of the Seas as the largest cruise ships and passenger vessels ever built (at the time of construction). She is 1112 feet (339m) long, and typically cruises at 21.6 knots (40 km/h). The vessel operates from Southampton, England,.[2] during the summer season, on European itineraries, and transfers to the Caribbean in the winter months. Independence of the Seas is the third of the Freedom Class vessels. In 2009, the first in a new Oasis Class of ships is planned to displace the Freedom class as the world's largest passenger ships. Independence of the Seas, as of current, is the world's largest passenger cruise ship along with her sister ships Freedom of the Seas and Liberty of the Seas, but she will be displaced by MS Oasis of the Seas, which is scheduled to make her maiden voyage in late 2009.
