Which is Bigger the Queen Mary 2 or Freedom of the Seas?


    



Show all answers


Skip S
Freedom of the Seas.
QM2) is a Cunard Line ocean liner named after the earlier Cunard liner Queen Mary, which was in turn named after Mary of Teck, the Queen Consort of George V. At the time of her construction in 2003, the QM2 was the longest, widest and tallest passenger ship ever built, and at 148,528 gross tons, was also the largest. She lost that last distinction to Royal Caribbean International's 154,407 gross ton Freedom of the Seas in April 2006, but QM2 remains the largest ocean liner (as opposed to cruise ship) ever built, and her height, length, and waterline breadth are unsurpassed by any other passenger ship.



Definition of a cruise ship is a passenger ship that is designed, built, and used only for short term pleasure cruises. By definition, an ocean liner is a larger commercial vessel, that is operating as one unit of a fleet, carrying passengers and/or goods on a regular schedule.

Hope that helps...

It depends on how you want to define "bigger"

Queen Mary 2:

http://cruises.about.com/cs/shipprofiles/a/queen_mary_5.htm

# Length: 1,132 feet
# Beam: 135 feet
# Beam at Bridge Wings: 147.5 feet
# Draft: 32 feet 10 inches
# Gross Tonnage: Approximately 150,000 gross tons
# Passengers: 2,620

Freedom of the Seas:

http://cruises.about.com/od/mainstreamcruiselines/a/rci_freedom.htm

# Passenger Capacity: 3,600 double occupancy
# Gross Tonnage: 160,000
# Length: 1,112 feet
# Beam: 126.64 feet
# Draft: 28 feet

So, the QM2 is longer and wider. However, the Freedom OTS has more inside usable space for the passengers (Gross Tonnage is a space rating, not a weight rating - one GT is 100 cubic feet).

Depends on how you define bigger. If you are referring to weight Freedom of the seas is bigger. Queen mary 2 is longer.

Freedom of the Seas Stats

Gross Tonnage: 160,000
Length: 1,112'
Max Beam: 184'
Draft: 28'

Queen Mary 2 Stats

Gross Tonnage: Approximately 151,400 gross tonnes
Length: 1,132 feet
Max Beam: 147.5 feet
Draft: 32 feet 10 inches

The Freedom of the Seas is larger than the Queen Mary II by about 10,000 tons. Freedom is about 160,000 tons while the QM II is about 150,000 tons.
