Royal Caribbean International Takes Delivery of Independence of the Seas

Royal Caribbean International took delivery of its newest ship - Independence of the Seas - during a ceremony at Aker Yards in Turku, Finland, earlier this month. Independence of the Seas is the third of the line's Freedom class of ships and will be the largest cruise ship ever to be home-ported in Europe, when she sails out of Southampton, United Kingdom, for her inaugural season. Independence shares the title of world's largest and most innovative cruise ship with sister-ships Freedom of the Seas and Liberty of the Seas, which launched in the U.S. in May 2006 and 2007 respectively, and which offer Caribbean cruises from Miami, Florida.
