Freedom of the Seas
The world biggest cruise ship, Freedom of the Seas, came to Hamburg this morning. To see it in motion you had to be there at 5:30 h. It’s now in Dock 17 of Bloom & Voss. I didn’t think it fits in there …
The specs:
- Length: 339m
- Beam (total): 56m
- Height: 63.7m (18 decks)
- Tonnage: 158,000
- Top speed: 21.6 knots
- Passengers: 4,370
- Crew members: 1,360
At this point, the depth of the Elbe is about 13.5 m. The draft of the ship is about 8.5m. If it sank here nobody on the ship would get wet.
