Almaco Group completed a major modernisation project onboard Liberty of the Seas at Damen Shipyard in May 2026, delivering multiple catering, public and accommodation areas across the ship.
The outfitter completed a 90-square-metre galley, a 35-square-metre pantry and three bar areas – Starbucks, The Lime & Coconut and El Loco Fresh – totalling about 100 square metres.
In addition to catering areas, Almaco delivered several accommodation and public area conversions across different decks. On deck two, an old conference area was transformed into a new cabin area with 24 cabins, including structural modifications and raised flooring solutions. On deck 10, the former library was converted into four cabins and a new corridor, requiring additional steel partitioning works.
On deck 11, part of the gym and former spa areas were rebuilt into eight larger cabins, including structural steel works. On deck 12, a section of the Adventure Ocean area was transformed into a new cabin area with 10 family type suites.
Almaco also carried out the transformation of the former Sabor restaurant on deck four into the new Japanese restaurant, Izumi, with both catering systems and interior outfitting delivered in a collaboration between Almaco’s catering and accommodation teams.
As a full turnkey supplier, Almaco managed the project throughout, ensuring alignment with the ship’s operational requirements.
“The successful delivery of the project relied on close coordination between all parties involved, supported by thorough preplanning and the ability to adapt to changes along the way,” Baptiste Guillou, project manager for Almaco. “Good collaboration with Royal Caribbean and Damen Shipyard played a key role in ensuring smooth execution. Almaco is pleased to continue its cooperation with both partners and looks forward to future projects together.”
