Liberty of the Seas is a Royal Caribbean cruise ship, scheduled to enter service in May 2007. The 18-deck ship will accommodate 4,370 passengers served by 1,360 crew. She was built in the Aker Finnyards drydock in Turku, Finland, where her sister ship Freedom of the Seas was also built. On August 4, 2006, she was floated out of drydock for completion. At over 154,000 gross tons, she will join sister ship Freedom of the Seas as the largest cruise ships and passenger vessels ever built. She will be 1,112 feet (339m) long, and will cruise at 21.6 knots (40 km/h).

Liberty of the Seas is the second of the Freedom Class vessels. A third ship, Independence of the Seas, is scheduled for delivery in 2008. In 2009, the first in a new Genesis class of ships measuring 220,000 tons is slated to displace the Freedom class as the world's largest passenger ships.
