MS Adventure of the Seas is the third Voyager-class cruise ship operated by Royal Caribbean International that cannot transit the Panama Canal[7]. Voyager-class ships are the forth largest passenger ships in the world; currently, only Cunard's Queen Mary 2, Royal Caribbean International's Freedom Class and MS_Oasis_of_the_Seas ships are larger. She was built in Aker Finnyards in Turku, Finland and completed in 2001. Since 2001, she sails in the Southern Caribbean and departs weekly from the port of San Juan, Puerto Rico.
