Freedom was constructed at the Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, Italy. Her maiden voyage was March 5, 2007.
[edit] Itineraries
Carnival Freedom originally sailed two itineraries from her home port in Civitavecchia near Rome. Stops on her Grand Mediterranean itinerary included: Naples, Dubrovnik, Venice, Messina, Barcelona, Cannes, and Livorno. Stops on her Mediterranean and Greek Isles itinerary included: Naples, Marmaris, Izmir, Istanbul, Athens, Katakolon, and Livorno. In the Fall and Winter of 2007, she sailed the Caribbean Sea from the Port of Miami. In the Summer of 2008 she returned to Europe and sailed the same itineraries as above. In the Fall of 2008 she again sailed the Caribbean but from Fort Lauderdale out of Port Everglades.
Carnival Freedom began sailing year-round from Fort Lauderdale starting November 22, 2008, with six-day cruises departing Sundays and visiting Key West, Fla., George Town, Grand Cayman; and Ocho Rios, Jamaica, while eight-day voyages departing Saturdays alternate to the eastern and western Caribbean.
Eight-day eastern Caribbean voyages visit five ports: San Juan, Puerto Rico; St. Thomas/St. John, U.S.V.I.; Antigua, Lesser Antilles; Tortola/Virgin Gorda, B.V.I.; and Nassau, The Bahamas. Western Caribbean cruises include Cozumel, Mexico; Limon, Costa Rica; and Colon, Panama.[2]
