Royal Caribbean takes delivery of Liberty of the Seas
Royal Caribbean International has taken delivery of its newest Freedom-class vessel, Liberty of the Seas.
The ship will make her UK debut in Southampton on Sunday April 22.
She will be the first in the Royal Caribbean International fleet to showcase new wellbeing, family and wedding programme options that will then be rolled out fleet-wide.
Royal Caribbean International UK and Ireland managing director Robin Shaw said: “Royal Caribbean International is striving forward to grow its market presence in the UK and Ireland.
“The pace at which we are introducing new ships demonstrates the growth potential of the cruise market.
“The launch celebrations of Liberty of the Seas in Southampton next week are made even more exciting by the knowledge that the third Freedom-class ship, Independence of the Seas, will be based from the UK next year.”
Liberty of the Seas will leave Southampton on April 26 and starts cruises in the Western and Eastern Caribbean on May 19.
