(Redirected from Genesis class)
The 'Genesis class' is a class of Royal Caribbean cruise ships, the first of which was ordered in February 2006. The first ship is scheduled to be delivered in Fall of 2009 and has not yet been named, but if it is like most ships, first in class, it might be named 'Genesis of the Seas'. A second ship is due for delivery in 2010.
The Genesis class will surpass the earlier Freedom Class as the world's largest passenger ships. They will be 23 meters (69 feet) longer, 8.5 meters (29 feet) wider, have a slightly deeper draft than the ''Freedom Class'' ships, and a gross tonnage that is expected to be 43% greater.
Like the Freedom class, the Genesis class ships will be built by Aker Yards in Turku, Finland. They will be 1,180 feet (360 meters) long, with a gross tonnage of 220,000, and will be able to carry 6,400 passengers. The first of the Genesis class, priced at US$1.2 billion (€ 900 million) reportedly will be the most expensive commercial ship ever built.[2]
The ship is projected to have new features, rumored to be the addition of a bowling alley complex, an outdoor trapeze area, a billiards lounge similar to those found on the Radiance Class Ships, a larger dining room, and a much longer Royal Promenade shopping and recreation area. Much larger staterooms and balcony areas are reported to be on the ship, as well as a much larger variety of dining, bar, and lounge options.
The option for a second ship of the class was exercised by Royal Caribbean on April 2, 2007. The next ship is to be delivered by Aker Yards, Turku in August 2010.[3]
