Freedom Caribbean Cruise 2009
 
Bigger, Better, and Bolder
Where else but on the largest ship in the world could you surf FlowRider? Climb a multi-course rock wall or spar in the boxing ring. Have a splash at the outdoor water park or a skate around the indoor ice rink. Catch a game in the sports pool or on the full-size volleyball court. Discover our many shops & cafes along the Royal Promenade, the world’s most popular gay street this week. Thrill to spectacular productions in the four-story theater or to our own sensational ice show. Dance outdoors on the massive decks. Workout in the sensational fitness center and pamper yourself at the largest spa at sea.
Or simply relax in the spectacular hot tubs hanging off the edge of the ship, 112 feet above the ocean..

Our City of Entertainment
The entertainment never stops, in incredible venues throughout Freedom. We'll present the most talented group of gay and lesbian performers in the world, showcased in our 4-story theater, intimate cabarets, on the Promenade, and more. Our legendary shows feature a unique blend of exciting talent - hilarious comedians, performance artists, a gay hypnotist, and some of the freshest new stars of tomorrow. Plus, there’s always a sensational guest star or two. Past cruises have featured Joan Rivers, Rosie O’Donnell, Mario Cantone, Margaret Cho, Patti Lupone, Wanda Sykes, Jennifer Hudson, and so many more. Who knows who might show up this year?
In addition to the eye-popping ice show (tailored just for Atlantis), Studio B doubles as a sensational concert space highlighting top musical acts perfect for a gay audience. And it wouldn’t be a cruise without Royal Caribbean’s spectacular award-winning productions, filled with talented performers, glamour, glitz, and astounding special effects.

But we don’t stop there. You’ll find late night comedy and unique cabaret shows in the Pharaoh’s Palace Lounge. Matt Yee hosts an outrageous piano bar show in the Schooner Bar, and more Atlantis cabaret performers in the Viking Crown. There’s even more live music throughout the ship, non-stop action in the Casino Royale. And believe it or not, we’ll invite you to a parade or two.

The Best Parties at Sea. Or Land.
Well, actually it’s several parties. We’ll turn Liberty’s outdoor decks turn into the largest outdoor celebration at sea, with spectacular lighting, lasers to light up the sky, and concert quality sound. Studio B transforms into a remarkable themed party space. And the high-tech nightclub hosts a wide range of musical styles, including a sensational “after-hours” scene. All of this featuring five (yes, five) of the leading gay DJs working today.

Amazing Experiences Ashore
There’s so much to do onboard that you might forget where we’re going. Atlantis has created a custom itinerary to some of the most exciting islands in the Caribbean, with plenty of time to enjoy the world’s largest floating gay resort. From cosmopolitan Miami, we’ll sail to the private island of Labadee, our most popular port stop ever. This exclusive destination becomes the Caribbean’s only all-gay island for the day, featuring pristine beaches, breathtaking scenery, and a host of spectacular water activities. It’s the perfect day at the beach, and all of it exclusively ours for the day.
From there we sail to San Juan, the gay-friendly storied capital of the Caribbean, perfect for exploring it’s old town, or many white-sand beaches. Finally, sail with us to St. Maarten with an extended stay that lets you take advantage of both the Dutch and French cultures on this sophisticated tropical island.

The fun never stops on world’s largest ship, and the largest gay cruise in the world. Our last two years sold out in record time, so don’t delay! We look forward to entertaining you for seven incredible nights onboard Freedom!
