Royal Caribbean International

Welcome to Royal Caribbean International, the cruise line that delivers the "Wow!" and the one that put rock-climbing walls and ice-skating rinks on cruise ships. Whether you've sailed with us before or have just seen the commercials on TV, you may have the sense that we're not your average cruise line.

For those guests who think they've seen and sailed it all, Royal Caribbean promises to offer diversity in 2007-08 with several exotic new ports of call. Other than Casablanca, Morocco; Fort De France, Martinique and Split, Croatia, some of the other exciting destinations guests can explore include La Coruna, Spain; Pointe-a-Pitre, Guadeloupe; Samana, Dominican Republic and Kingstown, St. Vincent.

Freedom of the Seas had her debut in May 2006 and is the largest cruise ship in the world. The first in Royal Caribbean's new Freedom class, she is the most forward-looking and innovative ship the company has built to date. Freedom of the Seas will sail seven-night Western Caribbean itineraries from Miami calling in Cozumel, Mexico; George Town, Grand Cayman; Montego Bay, Jamaica; and Royal Caribbean's private destination, Labadee, Hispaniola.

Along with features such as the FlowRider surfing simulator and cantilevered whirlpools that have never before been seen on a cruise ship, Freedom is outfitted with a full-size Everlast boxing ring, a group Pilates reformer studio and many other elements that are rarely seen in shoreside gyms, let alone on a cruise ship fitness center.

Royal Caribbean International is also giving families more opportunities to play together and stay together while cruising the Caribbean. Freedom of the Seas offers six different family-focused stateroom categories specially designed to accommodate larger families and groups of friends.

Royal Caribbean International is a global cruise vacation company with 19 ships in service and three under construction. The company offers unique cruisetour vacations in Alaska, Canada, the Caribbean and Europe.
