From Newsvine.com: The Freedom of the Seas, ostensibly the largest passenger ship in the world, has recently docked in Bayonne, New Jersey.
How big is it? Well, it’s sooooo big:
- it’s 237 feet tall and 1,112 feet long with 15 passenger decks;
- the captain hasn’t finished exploring it (“I’m still discovering things,” he says); and
- standing upright on its bow, the 160,000-ton ship would be taller than the Eiffel tower.
Now that’s big.
The ship will remain docked in Bayonne until May 18th, when it leaves for a trip to Boston. And if you think you might like to buy a ticket, save up: prices for seven-day voyages range from $1,900 per couple for an interior room during the low season to nearly $2,500 for the same-size cabin with a balcony during high season.
